How does Damper adj. work?

I have Tein SS coilovers and as you guys prolyl know they have the damper adjustmant. I always wondered, how does that part work?

Its only a little **** at the top..... you turn it left then shock gets softer, you turn it right and the shock gets harder....... all with a little ****.

The **** can be taken out and it doesnt look like anything special... it looks like a screw with a turnable **** on top. But when its back in the shock its somehow adjusts the damper.

So does anyone know how this works?
