Graham-
My conclusions exactly! I wish that I could have explained this as
concisely and elegantly as you have! Ted did say the same thing, but I got
lost in the zigs and zags ;-)

Pops!
you made me think a little harder, so it wasn't wasted effort. When you back
off the lock nut the tension won't change, the nut just
behaves as a washer until the thread starts to bite in the opposite
direction, Ted put it slightly differently but said the same thing I think?
