The disks are disposed coaxially along the axis of the spindle. The distance between a first disk and a second disk is greater than the distance between the second disk and a third disk. The distance between the second disk and the third disk is greater than the distance between the third disk and a fourth disk. The first, second, third and fourth disks are located adjacent to each other consecutively.
