[SEL] CrossHead

[Bob Willman]

    The crosshead is between the connecting rod and the piston. Think
steam engine. It is the sliding shoe - usually upper and lower - or right
and left -that keeps the piston rod in a straight back and forth motion.
The  connecting rod then connects the crosshead to the crank.
