a cylinder attached to a shock either by hose or tube, which flows the same rate of oil the shock displaces. The reservoir body has an internal floating piston which divides the oil and nitrogen it holds inside. The additional oil allows the shock to maintain cooler temperatures due to the extra volume, and the additional nitrogen helps keep pressure on the oil to prevent cavitation, or foaming/thinning of the oil, which will ruin the shock's performance. Here is a picture of the shock components.
Large bellows, used to help even out the pulses in suction made by the pumping bellows or motor operated bellows; also stores reserve suction for times when the player mechanism demands it; some pianos will have a suction reservoir and a pressure reservoir, particularly in orchestrions outfitted with pipes or other instruments that use pressure instead of vacuum.

An artificial body of water.
a region that is capable of holding and perhaps processing a certain mass of a substance of interest. Examples would include: the stratospheric reservoir of ozone; nutrient reservoirs in the deep ocean; the carbon dioxide atmospheric reservoir; the deep sea carbon reservoir of shells and detritus of dead sea organisms. Clearly a reservoir has a finite capacity - it can be full, in which case no more can be added.

A carbon reservoir is an area, other than the atmosphere, where carbon has accumulated in appreciable amounts as a result of past or present carbon storage activities (sequestration). A reservoir has the capacity to store, accumulate or release a substance of concern, such as carbon, a greenhouse gas or a precursor. Oceans, soils, and forests are examples of reservoirs of carbon. (, )
A subsurface, porous, permeable rock body in which oil or gas or both can be trapped. Most reservoir rocks are limestones, dolomites, sandstones, or a combination of these. The three basic types of hydrocarbon reservoirs are oil, gas, and condensate. An oil reservoir generally contains three fluids: gas, oil, and water, with oil the dominant product. In the typical oil reservoir, these fluids occur in different phases as a result of the variation in their gravities. Gas, the lightest, occupies the upper part of the reservoir rocks; water, the lower part; and oil, the intermediate section. In addition to occurring as a cap or in solution, gas may accumulate independently of the oil. If so, the reservoir is called a gas reservoir. Associated with the gas, in most instances, are salt water and some oil. In a condensate reservoir, the hydrocarbons may exist as a gas, but, when brought to the surface, some of the heavier gases condense to a liquid or condensate. At the surface, the hydrocarbons from a condensate reservoir consist of gas and a high-gravity crude (i.e., the condensate). Condensate wells are sometimes called gas-condensate reservoirs.

1. A space capable of storing a fluid. 2. A supply of a substance, especially a reserve or extra supply. 3. A natural or man-made lake that serves to store water; often the release is controlled so that withdrawals can be managed.
Most often, a reservoir refers to an artificial lake, used to store water for various uses. Reservoirs are created first by building a sturdy dam, usually out of cement, earth, rock, or a mixture of all three. Once the dam is completed, a stream is allowed to flow behind it and eventually fill it to capacity.
