     fluid pressure. It usually consists of a short cylinder
     fitting within a cylindrical vessel along which it moves,
     back and forth. It is used in steam engines to receive motion
     from the steam, and in pumps to transmit motion to a fluid;
     also for other purposes.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Piston head (Steam Eng.), that part of a piston which is
        made fast to the piston rod.

        it communicates motion.
  
     Piston valve (Steam Eng.), a slide valve, consisting of a
        piston, or connected pistons, working in a cylindrical
        case which is provided with ports that are traversed by
        the valve.
