Thanks to
Jabba the Hutt, we didn't need to wait for AndyMark to offer a solution. However, the
AM part is more versatile.
Seriously, I have never seen a Globe fail. Smoke, yes; fail, no. We've used them in stock condition, with threads cut on the shaft-stub, and
with one gearing stage removed.
I even tried to get the team to use one for extreme torque by
chaining it to a rachet, but they haven't found a mechanism that can use that solution (yet).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
