An ounce of prevention.


Mechanics, prevention is the pillar pillar, freestanding columnar supporting member. It is a general term, little used as an exact architectural definition except as applied to an upright support in the medieval styles, consisting of an assemblage of juxtaposed shafts and moldings; unlike the column,  of PM. Keep that in mind when inspecting the primary servos' exposed pistons Pistons can mean:
  • Piston, the engine and engineering part
  • Detroit Pistons, the basketball team
 and internal seals on the hydraulic deck.

Cleaning dirt from the exposed pistons daily is the ounce of prevention that's worth a pound of cure.
