   Got it...   
   Thanks.   
      
   Definitely didn't know about that characteristic of "walking".  It makes   
   total sense, now you mention it.   
   The one about how the bodger could move the string along the workpiece   
   to free access to work where the string was before is another aspect of   
   a good design I hadn't been reverent enough of.   
      
   That "warning" / point has saved me wasted time with a "solution" which   
   wouldn't have worked.
