crosshead
Engine piston linkage
A crosshead is a heading or subheading that runs across a column of text, breaking up long passages in newspapers or magazines.
In mechanical engineering, a crosshead is a sliding block that connects a piston rod to a connecting rod, converting linear motion while preventing side forces from reaching the piston.
The term also describes a type of screw head with a cross-shaped slot, as in Phillips-head screws.
