Dan, would what you're saying allow more obvious names like "worm gear" - as
I think of it, because that's what it logically interacts with and looks
like to me, at least - help me to find that name for a part often used in
gear-reduction applications?
The name "worm screw" just doesn't sound logical, I've always thought of it
as a "worm gear" as that's how LEGO named it - also, "screw" could be
mistaken to mean threaded, as in screws that are screwed into wood - this
gear definitely isn't a "screw" in that sense of the term.
