3. connecting rod n. (a) gen. A rod serving to connect a crank with any other part of a machine. In steam and gas engines, the rod used for transmitting the motion of the piston to the crank. In direct-acting engines the connecting rod is attached to the cross-head of the piston-rod, whilst in beam engines it serves to connect one end of the working beam to the crank on the fly-wheel shaft. In the latter sense, especially, the name pitman is frequently used in U.S. for connecting rod. †(b) The outside coupling rod which connects together the wheels of some locomotive engines.
