Explanation:

Point C, halfway on the coupler bar, traces a symmetrical curve. The coupler can make a full rotation.

The model also shows, for the symmetry-position, the instantaneous centre of rotation of the coupler plane, the inflection circle and the pole tangent. The latter approximates a straight line. The intention of the graphical construction is unknown.
