Glad to be of help. Here is an extract from Frank Pain's classic little book; the self-centring action of the auger is interesting:

Thanks again for this informative information. I had kind of thought that this was it's use but was in no way certain at all. Would it be possible to get the information about the book that this is in as I would like to buy a copy of it. I have looked it up and seen various issues for sale secondhand but I want to be sure I am buying the correct issue.

As we are a bit off topic I will PM the book details to you.
