[TowerTalk] Fwd: FW: Fwd: Worm Gears

Yep, Stiction Friction. Learned about it back in early 60's when we had to 
send a "dither" signals to gyros to overcome Stiction Friction and improve 
accuracy (missile program). What's the old saying, things at rest tend to 
stay at rest and things in motion like to keep moving or something like that 
;-)
