The pistons are of cast iron and carry three concentric rings 1/4 inch wide on their upper end, which are pinned at the joint.
The pistons are made of aluminum alloy and are very light and strong, weighing only 2 pounds 2 ounces each.
If gas has been blowing by the ring or if these members have not been fitting the cylinder properly the points where the gas passed will be evidenced by burnt, brown or roughened portions of the polished surface of the pistons and rings.
Aluminum or alloy pistons require more clearance than cast iron ones do, usually 1.
The pistons as provided in the A-7a engines are cast from aluminum alloy.
The usual form of deflector plate is provided at the top of the piston and one may consider it as two pistonsin one.
Illustration: Cylinder Assembly, showing the correct position of the valves with time gears properly set according to punch marks on the gears, also the relative position of the pistons in their strokes as indicated above.
A rich mixture will not only quickly cover the cylinders, pistons and valves with carbon, but will tend to overheat the cylinders, and is likewise wasteful of the fuel.
All was quiet but for the ceaseless rattle of cranks and pistons and the whining of well-oiled wheels.
He heard the hum of machinery--the whirr of well-oiled wheels, the chunking of pistons and cranks.
Instead of mere rods and tubes of metal, Hal now saw pistons and cylinders as power-containers.
As in the vertical engine already described, a valve is sometimes used, consisting of two pistons connected by a rod, and worked by an ordinary eccentric.
Watt was at once interested, and went to work on a little model, having tin steam-cylinders and pistons connected to the driving-wheels by an intermediate system of gearing.
The pistons move in opposite directions, and steam is exhausted from the high-pressure cylinder directly into the nearer end of the low-pressure cylinder.
Each of the revolvingpistons has three long teeth bearing against the cylinder, and packed, to prevent leakage, like the engine-cams.
The cylinders are nicely proportioned to their work, and their pistons travel at high speed.
Both pistonswere connected to one cross-head, and the general arrangement of the engine was similar to that of the common form of beam-engine.
Smeaton covered the lower side of his steam-pistons with wooden plank about 2-1/4 inches thick, in order that it should absorb and waste less heat than when the iron was directly exposed to the steam.
The stroke of both steam pistons and pumps is 10 feet.
These are inverted over a beam, or rocker; and the pistons are connected to opposite ends of the same.
The double acting water plunger was 14 inches in diameter, and worked directly from the high pressure piston rod; the stroke of pistons and plunger being 25 inches.
The steam acts on both pistons at once, to produce the rotation of the hub and shaft.
The shadows lay black behind the dynamos, the ball governors of the engines whirled from light to darkness, and their pistons beat loud and steady.
The pistons are then forced apart and perform their power stroke.
In this way the power cylinder A is charged with gas and air mixture at each stroke, and when the pistons A^1 A^2 approach each other the charge is compressed into the space between and then ignited by the electric spark.
The air pump pistons are lettered B^2 B^3 and the gas pump piston C^2.
For still larger engines two such double acting cylinders are arranged in tandem, so that one piston rod runs through two pistons and connects to a slide in front and to one crank pin by a connecting rod.
Two Pneumatic Pistons acting on Ventil placed beneath the keys as in the Choir.
Two Pneumatic Pistons acting on Ventils, as in the Great Organ.
The pistons are driven by the shock of the recoil against the glycerine, which is forced through the perforations.
In the larger Krupp guns the force of recoil is absorbed by two cylinders, filled with glycerine and fitted with pistons perforated at the edges.
Lieutenant André Constantin designed, during the siege of Paris, a boat to be submerged by drawing in pistonsworking in large cylinders open to the water.
So that if we suppose the two pistons connected by means of their rods with one end of an ordinary working beam, the upward and downward strokes of each will be performed at the same time.
It also resembled Hawksbee's pump in having self-closing valves in the pistonsand at the bottom of the cylinders, which, in this pump, had their open ends at the top.
The pistons were alternately raised and lowered by the feet of the operator, which were placed in stirrups, of which one was fixed on each piston.

Supposing the pistons to be at their lowest point, four of the six small force-pumps are put in action by the steam-engine, two of them to raise the large piston, and two the little one.
These pistons are for the purpose of compressing the clay in the moulding box, and therefore must stand exactly over and correspond with the respective moulds in the frame c beneath.
In a short time, so much water is injected into the cylinders, that the loaded pistons have arrived at their highest points.
