Default Window motor screw (what does it do?)

This screw appears to adjust tension on the worm gear but I can't find any information on how to make sure it's adjusted properly or even if I can/should adjust it. I just know that if I tighten it all the way the motor won't spin.

Pictures included are in Word doc. and .pdf format. Sorry there isn't an actual picture for easy viewing.

Appreciate any help!!

I have always wondered about this myself, so joining the fun.

I also imagined it was a lash adjustment screw and wondered if it could be worked with to make an older motor happier.

It keeps the armature from sliding back and forth.
Adjustment is .001 from contact or about one eighth of a turn out after contact.
