• The cylinder had been badly cast, the pipe-condenser did not work properly, and there was still the old leakage of steam at the piston. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The cylinder stops, and current operates the sluggish press-magnet, causing its armature to be attracted, thus lifting the platen and its projecting arm. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.

• By increasing the number of cylinders the product was rapidly added to, each cylinder printing on one side 2,000 sheets per hour. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Every variation in the speaker's voice is repeated in the vibrations of the metal disk and hence in the minute motion of the pointer and in the consequent record on the cylinder. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Watt saw that the alternate heating and cooling of the cylinder made the engine work slowly and caused an excessive consumption of steam. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• By increasing the number of cylinders the product was rapidly added to, each cylinder printing on one side 2,000 sheets per hour. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The giant rolls consist of a pair of iron cylinders of massive size and weight, with removable wearing plates having irregular surfaces formed by projecting knobs. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Among these, are siphon pumps, the force pump of Ctesibius, a fire-pump, having two cylinders, and two pistons, valves, and levers. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
