Del, I am very interested in your explanations about springs, is there an Internet version of these articles ? are they in the actual CD Rom reprints ? I can't see the necessity for these springs, but you certainly have a good idea on that. Adding 5 g weight on the head may be counterbalanced by subtracting weight at the lever I guess. Is not the weight felt in the note if not ? Regards Best.
