A Note About Popular Terminology
At least in the USA, popular usage sometimes refers to the whole assembly of cylinder, piston, and piston rod (or more) collectively as a "piston", which is incorrect. See, for instance, "Hydraulic piston raises the table from 19 (in.) to 26 (in.)" Marine Tables, Inc. (Select item 3 of 8, near the bottom.)

Famous quotes containing the words note and/or popular:
“No, in your rural letter box

To tell you it was just a tramp
Who used your pasture for a camp.”

And after kept it from decay;

And let all base ambition be,
For intellect would make us proud....”
