The reason I have been given is and also read somewhere in a book (if I remember well, written by Patrick Boulet, a french helicopter test pilot) is the one that Nick Lappos has already given; it comes from one of the transmission gear of that WW2 german twin rotor helicopter(FW220...?).
Personally I don't mind the way it turns, providing the needle remains in "the green"....
