The locking of a Maltese cross is intended that no twisting during the rest period can occur. The rotation is done by a torque (the disturbance torque Ms), which is exerted from outside on the cross. This disturbance torque can work in the direction of rotation of the Maltese Cross (positive) or in the opposite direction (negative). The following is fourfold Maltese cross with a positive disturbance torque is examined during the resting period (see figure)
