Roger,

I have an addition we learned from Rick, N6RK in his earlier post.

STICTION   Another term for static friction  


(I thought Rick was being humorous, but I looked it up and it is defined as :
 "Stiction is the static friction that needs to be overcome to enable relative motion of stationary objects in contact." )

Rick,   I will never doubt your stuff again hihihihi

73,
