I have seen this on more contemporary radios and such. The bigger gear with the springs was actualy a pair of thin, stacked gears. The springs pushed against each half so there would be a snug fit to the smaller gear to eliminate the possiblity of "dial slop" and give a smooth feel while turning. The range of push was only about half a tooth.
Hope this helps.
