returns the vertex/facet list for a rod socket of a servo motor

Description

Without any parameters this function generates a rod socket for a servo motor, i.e. the digital servo FUTABA S3156. The x-y plane describes the top side of the rod. The socket is below the x-y plane. The cover plate of the socket is obove the x-y plane.
