A little clip powered by an earthworm? No, actually that's "British" for
a standard hose clamp. Worm drive distinguishes it from what I think the
British call a "Jubilee" clip. A Jubilee clip is the type of hose clamp
that basically consists of two wires with a screw for tightening,
original on my MGA (any British out there please correct me if I'm
wrong). Worm drive is the type of hose clamp that is a band of metal
with angled slots. It is made tight by turning a captured screw that has
a spiral on its side that turns in the slots.
