   All I see now is a Piston but it looks like wrong type of metal.

  Is it a cog wheel in a watch or clock , ie part of the inner mechanism ?

  Shane, you're right, it is a piston. Well done!

  I'm guessing that it has maybe a ceramic coating, that would explain why it's not aluminium coloured.

  Sorry Lesley, it's not a watch/clock cog.

  Cheers guys, was a bit of a blokey one this week, but I've learned something today.

  The picture I chose is of a 'slipper' piston. Apparently these are so called because they have much less 'skirt' to make them lighter, hence 'slipper'.  : )
