The cam problem may be stated as follows:

To design a curve rotating about O so as to actuate by contact a given follower curve to rotate about O′ in a prescribed periodic manner.

Reference may be made to Barr, Kinematics of Machinery, Chapter 5, for the engineer's method of constructing cams by means of a template. A fuller analysis of the problem is aimed at in this paper.
