    The document provides specifications for creating a cam blank with two cam paths: a master path and a conjugate path. The cam blank must be at least 220mm in diameter and 45mm thick with a 50mm bore. The master path will control an oscillating arm that is 35mm long from 0-360 degrees rotation. The conjugate path will control a second, equal length arm 135 degrees from the master arm. The cam and paths will be modeled in CAD software according to the specifications.
