Very neat 2 spout ladle

Cool link.

Are most aircraft pistons cast or forged???????


Cast ..


I would have guessed "cast" because of the larger temperature
coefficient of forged metal---already have a big enough problem
with the cast pistons, controlling clearance changes with rapid
external temperature changes.
