Due to friction between the disks and the disk plate, the disk plate rotates with the rotation of the cam disks. The disk plate rotates counterclockwise (viewed from the top) with the first disk's rotation, and it rotates clockwise with the second disk's rotation.
The following graph shows the angular position of the Lion as the disk plate rotates. It is a simple sine graph with
