Greetings; Actually, thinking of the springs out of old 1" wide 15+ foot tape measures.
Has anyone done this, and taken a pix of how you anchored the ends of the spring so that there was enough pivot available so that it didn't force the spring out of shape with potential dirt leaks as it telescoped? It seems to me that solidly anchored ends would encourage its warping as it telescoped. I am inclined to machine a hub the right diameter for each end but doing a knob only the springs thickness high to fit a hole in the spring may be beyond my machining ability even with EDM. Thanks for any URL's I can plagiarize. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
