paper sheet cut outs
Pistare can be a couple of things..
pista is a sky slope, route, car racing track
pistare is arcaic usually found in recepies for pounding, smashing (making pesto in a mortar to be precise)
Since we are talking about paper, I think it may have something to do with punch out forms but it could also be punch press made or routed forms, in the sense of gridded, mapped that kind of thing. I am sorry but I simply cannot pin it down for you. Perhaps you can figure it out by looking at the rest of the text where it may describe just how they are checking these forms
piston - 1704, from Fr. piston, from M.Fr. piston "pestle," from It. pistone "large pestle," from pestare "to pound," from L.L. pistare, freq. of L. pinsere "to pound."
