As mentioned earlier, it is for the skirt to expand.
Our friend, Mr. Zollner, had not yet invented the "Barrel curved" Piston.
Many,Many Technological advances during this time

Merry Christmas . The factory used them to allow for expansion so the skirt hot would not score to the cylinder wall. R

So is it acceptable to reuse these? What is the purpose, to get more oil in?

8-105 - Strange slits cut into lower side skirts of Pistons???? was created by curtiss
We finally got to pulling the engine and taking it apart tonight in the 1933 8-105.
I found each of the pistons we labeled .060 over and they had a hole drilled in the skirt along with a "T" style slit in the sides of Pistons below the ring level. I have never seen this before, have you all seem this and what would the reason be for doing this?
