Re: Spring question.

Yup, tight coils around the spring guide.

Its called an irregular pitch, or non linear spring.

Re: Spring question.

What difference does it actually make which way round it goes? Surely its a spring and you apply linear force to the end and it compresses - which end you apply force from is neither here nor there surely?
