A very good set of references indeed. Thanks.

In mechanical terms, the skating force on a tonearm is the 
resultant moment generated due to a force not in line with the 
rotational axis. ie An isolated body with a net unbalanced force (groove 
friction) can be translated into an equivalent moment and a force
through the pivot (having no moment).

P.S. it does sound confusing, doesn't it?
