Universal Joint

What is the angular range between the input shaft and the output shaft in which this mechanism will work?

• Only on angles that are greater than 270 degrees
• Only on angles that are less than 90 degrees
• Any angle that is less than 91 degrees, but more than 269 degree
• Any angle that is more than 91 degrees, but less than 269degree
