Abstract
A process and apparatus is provided for imparting linear motion to tooling. The tooling is attached to a manipulator device having two different length arms. The tooling may be moved linearly from a first point to a second point by adjusting the angles of the first and second arms for a number of intermediate points extending along a straight line between the first and second points and along which the tooling passes.
