This sp,Dg consists Of strip Of iron about three
Fights of an inch thick and five inches wide, which n
wound in spral form, each succeeding coil, ssoedOg
from the one made before, that the spring has the
appearance Of cylinder with oonioai projection a.
one end and conics cavity at the other The weights
is placed the projecting cone which it deprssses
The springs are tried by pressing them till they
present the appearance Ola perfect cylinder. For
his purpose very simple machine has bc.n
Devised, snd 1t is VOW on exhibition The 'pring ID
placed on platfoAn, which moves 10 guides, aud 10
raised by toggle joint. The sprrs is thus brocght
against another platform placed above il, and this ls
raises the beam Of a balance, which Is brought dows
by adding weights. The quality and the cspsbli'y Of
each spring 10 IN this manner escetGned. The volute
springs have this advantage in common with those OF
India rubber, ordinary carriage springs, that
they break the body Of the oar ia only lot down 90
irch or two, but is not overthrown. Springs Of this
description are manufactured of various size-ths
