The Bennett linkage, its associated tetrahedron and the hyperboloid of its axes

Abstract This paper explores the geometry of the Bennett linkage, sets up the Plucker coordinates of its four hinge axes and derives the equation of the hyperboloid defined by them. The dependence of the hyperboloid on different configurations and dimensions of the linkage is also investigated.
