     Good example!  Absolutely that is jerk as the curve for acceleration has a 
step function in it.  The higher derivative curves would have a step in them 
also.  They are frequently named Snap, Crackle & Pop.  While I don't know the 
exact significance of them in regards to machine tools, when it comes to 
rotating cams, if all the derivatives through Pop are smooth or at least have 
no step in them, you can pretty much turn as fast as you want without 
developing unintended motions and deflections.  Sine waves and their 
derivatives pass this test very well but there are other motions that can as 
well.  
     Just easing off the brakes as the car comes to a stop would be a big 
improvement for fast moving machinery.  That potentially solves the overshoot 
problem.

 I like to think of what happens when I apply
 the breaks on a car.  It 
 slows down, and
 if I do not let up a little near the end it grabs...  I 
 think that is technically jerk.  As for
 applying gas, if you pop the 
 clutch...
 
 Seriously though.  The VLA
 example, they installed two motors (each 
 feeding the opposite way, and would feed them
 propositionally to control 
 jerk, and
 possibly higher order derivatives).  They told me that when
 
 they originally had one motor on the
 system, the initial impulse would 
 send a
 shock through the entire antenna.  I could have the story
 wrong, 
 but that is what I remember.
 
 Back to LCNC land...  I can
 see this being useful for most cases, but 
 not critically necessary unless I was spinning
 something less than a 24" 
 chuck.  I
 only had a chance to run a machine that large once, and that
 
 was decades ago.
