What keeps (if anything) the rotor vanes connecting bar from connecting to stator when the vanes are fully in (or out)?
Or are they supposed to touch and the dial limit stops are what is intended to keep them from touching?

My oscillator group touches when fully closed.

I could put a piece of Kapton on the stator bar....but wanted to know.
