When parts are polished,they are usually put in a ball mill (a tube that rotates,washing machine kinda thing) with little balls(media) that constantly move and polish the bits while the ball mill is rotating.one of the little balls slipped into the twist mech and was lodged in there.

Similar systems are used in polishing brass shells for shooting,perhaps a video would explain a bit better than I can Brass Cleaning Tumbler - YouTube
