The crosshead isn't an exclusively diesel thing. In fact, it's very old, and a part of steam engine technology for a long time. Most stationary steam engines and steam locomotives have them.

I'm going to be writing an update for this sometime soon, I think. --Morven 10:23, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Finally got around to that rewrite. I have removed some of the diesel engine info because I think it's not about crossheads but about big diesel engines. If you disagree, please feel free to re-add it. —Morven 12:29, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] relationship to Watt's famous linkage

What is the story behind Watt's linkage and crosshead bearings? Was there a dispute over patents or was the crosshead linkage simply not practical in Watt's time? njh 08:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
