	If the diameter of the worm wheel varies, and the pitch of the thread doesn't, then the width of the tooth between the slots must reduce. With rising diameter there must therefore be a point where it is so thin that it is no longer strong enough to transmit the drive. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
