Smooth movers   What do pens, microscopes and cars have in common ? They all use a little known material called motion control gel - a very special form of grease. This material is both slippery and ‘sticky’ at the same time and imparts a slow and smooth feel when two parts in contact are turned or moved. The feel of a microscope as the barrel moves for focussing or the slow movement of a car ashtray opening are both examples. A cheap pen whose nib moves in and out as you turn the barrel is made to feel much more expensive if a tiny amount of the gel is used for lubrication.
