On the A330 it has 33 clicks a turn
Spinal Tap reference?
Or mechanical fix for a SW fence post counting error?
While back I did some work for a company where it was faster to change the HW (fpga) than the SW when a simple offset error was found.
Does the 33rd click get you back to starting point, if so so might call it 32 clicks.
Wonder if the 'testing' of click counts has produce any noticeable track deviations yet
