5. Connecting rod
   In a reciprocating piston engine, the `connecting rod` or `conrod` connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts linear motion into rotating motion. Connecting rods may also convert rotating motion into linear motion. Historically...
