cogging
Weighting the dice
Cogging refers to several distinct technical processes.
In metalworking, cogging is the first step in forging an ingot, using repeated hammer blows to reduce its cross-section.
In machinery, cogging describes the jerky, uneven motion of an electric motor caused by magnetic interaction between rotor and stator—a cogging torque that engineers work to minimize.
In gaming and gambling, to cog dice is to cheat by controlling their fall.
