This document gives some basic data about spring design, covering aspects such as wire safety, materials, and equipment.
It is written for the benefit of someone who has (or can gain access to) basic hand and power tools. The sections of the document are arranged in logical order presuming a minimal knowledge of the metalworking trades in general or of springmaking in particular, and cross-linked to provide a forward path that leads from this point through the entire manufacturing process. There’s a glossary of spring terminology and an addendum, which should help you to define terms and find additional resources. Three basic types of springs are described: compression, extension, and torsion, alongside clock and power and other types of springs.
