Through which the cam rotates during the period in which the follower remains in the highest position
During which the follower returns to its initial position
Moved by the cam from the instant the follower begins to rise, till it reaches its highest position
Of rotation of the cam for a definite displacement of the follower

Theory of Machine
In a cam drive with uniform velocity follower, the sharp corners of the displacement diagram are rounded off at the beginning and at the end of each stroke. This is done

Because of difficulty in manufacturing cam profile
Because of loose contact of follower with cam surface
Because the uniform velocity motion is a partial parabolic motion
In order to have acceleration in beginning and retardation at the end of stroke within the finite limits
