Very nice analysis! All seems perfectly logical to me!

The other problem is not having an axle long enough to put them on. So I
connected them together with axles butting each other about halfway through each
worm gear. And with 14 worm gears and a 1/2 bush, there's play of over 1mm. The
best non-bind fit seems to be with 10 in series with a 1/2 bush. So I guess they
didn't quite follow the logical formula for some reason....
