Abstract
A ledger mechanism for a rod cutting apparatus comprises a ledger; a coupling rod on which the ledger is fixedly mounted; and a pair of spaced gear arrangements each having a gear ratio of 2:1 to generate a pair of points, one point on each gear arrangement, which reciprocate in synchronism along straight parallel paths, wherein the coupling rod is pivotally coupled at one end to one of said pair of points on one gear arrangement, and at its opposite end to the other of said pair of points on the other gear arrangement so that the ledger reciprocates linearly.
