An alignment mark selection method includes steps of determining whether an alignment mark provided in a shot area on a substrate is selectable with respect to each alignment mark, and selecting alignment marks from alignment marks determined to be selectable in the determining step. In the overload release mechanism of this webbing take-up device, rotary force of a large diameter gear is transmitted to a small diameter gear via plural annular friction springs. The invention also concerns the device for implementing this method and the machine-tool using such a device. A corrosion inhibitor is preferably added to the ink composition to adjust the zeta potential 2.
