What's the real definition of "shockproof" and "nonshock" as seen on

I don't know about a "real definition", but I've always assumed
that there is spring loading in the train from point to gears which is
stiff enough so it does not affect the reading, but soft enough so it
minimizes sudden shock to the gear train so the gear teeth do not get
deformed.

Enjoy,
