Default Re: Piston Expanders?

I have heard of knurling a piston to decrease the slop but these things I have never seen. So if I read it correctly, they actually expanded the piston, did these thing really work?

We tore down a Model A engine a couple of months ago that had those in the pistons. Had no idea what the were for.
