Tubing stiffens joint so that it can be alined with spline fitting; unsleeved joint would normally droop, making it difficult to attach to splines. Sleeve technique saves time and effort when assembling nonrigid parts by making special holding tools or fixtures unnecessary. Tubing also protects joint from dust and other contamination.
