Preloading a telescope geardrive, to eliminate backlash, always has been a major design aspect in telescope engineering. One of the oldest systems was to preload each axis with a steel cable, wrapped around the axis and loaded with a sufficient heavy weight, to keep the mating flanks of the gearwheel in contact under all circumstances, e.g. during windforces, unbalance, etc.
