Actually...grin... Bob has a nearly irresitable point here..... its going to be
very hard to explain how these parts are involved in downweight at all when you
first come to think of it.

If on the other hand one consistantly can measure a slight decrease in
downweight when these things are well lubricated..... then we have a fun task of
finding out how that could be ahead of us.

Nice... :)
