Each spring pin has a cylindrical center portion and two flattened ends with a transverse hole through each flattened end. Each shackle has a central body portion, two open-ended U-shaped portions on opposite ends of the central body portion, and a cylindrical hole passing through a longitudinal axis of the shackle. The first end of the leaf spring suspension system is mounted and secured by aligning one spring pin inside a loop at the first end of the leaf spring and threading one fastening bolt through each transverse hole in the respective flattened ends of the spring pin and through a corresponding hole in the frame of the vehicle. The second end of the leaf spring suspension system is mounted and secured by first aligning one spring pin inside a loop at the second end of the leaf spring and aligning one spring pin through a parallel cylindrical hole through the frame of the vehicle. One shackle is then oriented on each side of the leaf spring such that each shackle is located between and seats the spring pin rotatably attached to the leaf spring and the spring rotatably attached to the frame of the vehicle. With the spring pins seated in the open-ended U-shaped portions of the shackles, one fastening bolt is threaded through each shackle and the corresponding seated spring pins. Washers are located between the shackles and the leaf spring, as well as between the shackles and the suspension bracket, the washers being made of a material having a hardness less than that of an adjacent component.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) identifies and stores in storage areas documents such as currency bills deposited by a user. The machine selectively recovers such documents from storage areas and dispenses them. The machine includes a central transport (70) wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in canisters (92, 94, 96, 98). Documents in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to a user through an input/output area (50) of the machine. Each canister includes a memory (626) which holds information concerning the number and type of documents housed in the canister as well as other information concerning the hardware and software resident on the canister. The memory also includes data representative of individuals responsible for loading and transporting the canister. The machine conducts self-auditing activities to verify that the documents held in the storage areas correspond to the information stored in memory and indicate discrepancies.
