Stroke ratio, today universally defined as bore/stroke ratio, is a term to describe the ratio between cylinder bore diameter and piston stroke length in a reciprocating piston engine. This can be used for either an internal combustion engine, where the fuel is burned within the cylinders of the engine, or external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, where the combustion of the fuel takes place ''outside'' the working cylinders of the engine. Conventions The contemporary convention for describing the ''stroke ratio'' of a piston engine‘s cylinders is its ''bore/stroke'' ratio. ''Stroke/bore'' ratio is an obsolete expression dating to the early era of reciprocating engine development.

For this reason, news and sports programs, television shows, and movies often display the skyline of a city to set a location. The term ''The Sky Line of New York City'' was introduced in 1896, when it was the title of a color lithograph by Charles Graham for the color supplement of the '' New York Journal''. Paul D.
