⚙️ Geneva Drive Pin-and-Slot Indexing Kinematics (2D drawing)

2D drawing of an external Geneva drive: a continuously turning crank pin enters a slot, indexes the wheel by 360/n degrees and then locks it during a long dwell. Follower angle computed from the pin position, with speed, acceleration and four numerical checks.
