A four-bar that computes log₁₀

The output rocker's angle, mapped back into y, against the input crank's angle mapped back into x. The pale curve is log₁₀ x and the solid one is what the linkage does. They agree exactly at the 3 precision points and nowhere else; the largest disagreement over the range is 0.2232° of rocker, which is 7.47e-4 in y. The chebyshev spacing put the precision points at 1.0670, 1.5000, 1.9330.
