SPIRAL SPRINGS.

No. of coils = n
Dia. of wire = d (")
" " coil = D (")
Load = W (lbs)
Modulus = C (lbs/sq.")
T.M. = T (lb-inches)
Length = l (inches)
Deflection = δ (inches)

lθ = d {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} /2 θ and ø = f {Mr Friese} /C

θ = 2lf / dC and l = πDn

θ = 2f / dC πDn

δ = D {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} /2 θ = πD² n f / d C

f = C d δ / πD² n
