degree of taper that is to say the size of the steps 112 a b between tiers otherwise they are the same it should of course be appreciated that more than three tiers may be provided although the more that are provided the more the insert approximates the earlier embodiments of the present invention it should also be made clear that the step in the ridges need not be the same as the step in the troughs indeed there could be no step in the troughs and only steps in the ridges and vice versa finally although the start 142 144 and finish 146 148 of ridges and troughs of adjacent tiers are shown in the same angular position this is not essential any angular displacement between is permissible provided that the entire rear face 112 x of a smaller tier is within the profile 112 a of the adjacent tier see rear face 112 x partially shown in dotted lines in fig7 c which face is u201c virtual u201d being internal of the insert 110 a fig9 to 10 show further embodiments of the present invention in fig9 insert 910 has two tiers 940 a b each of whose cross sections are the same that is there is no taper and their ridges do not spiral from a first face 912 a b to a second face 914 a b of the respective tiers the cross section is in each case a six pointed star but rotationally offset with.
