You need gears or a cam that allows an adjustment in the distance from the
centerline of the shaft. A 24 tooth gear and a 40 tooth gear would allow you
to accomplish such action. I find the cam is very useful as the driven
element. You can always place a cam on the shaft with the reciprocating
gear to allow some further adjustment.
