An old sarcastic chief engineer (any guesses who?) at Bristows years ago, explained that wire locking was there:-
1. So that you didnt loose the individual parts if they came undone.
2.Even if you 'anti lock' the parts they can only come 1/2 a turn loose....which is true!!

Please excuse me as I'm old, and going the way of my mentor!
