The split skirts were necessary to control expansion with some aluminum piston designs.

It must have taken quite a bit or rebalancing with all these changes to make it smooth and quiet!

Many of Packard pistons (at least the 288/327/359) also had an expansion strut in the pistons. They were heated, and the strut was pressed, which then reduced the contraction when cold. So in a sense they were pre-expanded.
