Spring Forming & Bending

C ompression springs. Extension springs. Torsion springs. In applications from clipboards to carburettors, there is a sense in which every spring is spring-loaded: full of potential energy, coiled for action, responsive to stimulus. Springs also boast the keenest memory of any fastener, the greatest elasticity, the steeliest self-regulation. Purchasers of springs know a remarkable device when they employ one. This most sophisticated example of bending technology is the province of experts, many of whom are represented in the pages of this section.
