The artwork is a black-and-white technical drawing of a piston packing, a mechanical seal that prevents leakage between the piston and the cylinder wall in an engine. It was patented in 1929 by H.S. Burnham. The drawing shows a cross-section of the packing, with the piston on the left and the cylinder on the right. The packing is made up of a series of concentric rings, each with a different function. The innermost ring is made of a soft material, such as rubber, which conforms to the shape of the piston and cylinder. The outermost ring is made of a harder material, such as metal, which provides strength and durability. The drawing also shows the various dimensions of the packing, such as the diameter of the piston and the thickness of the rings.
