Counter Spring<br />

long spring towers above the machine. One<br />

A .end of the spring connects to a hook on the<br />

pivoted summing lever; the other end connects to<br />

a curved, tapered post. This large-diameter spring<br />

counterbalances the accumulated pull on the summing<br />

lever of the twenty individual smaller springs.<br />

The machine’s operator changes the tension on this<br />

counter spring by loosening a square-head screw<br />

and adjusting the height of the post up or down.<br />

Close examination reveals gouges that mar the finish<br />

of the post that were left by the screw during<br />

previous height adjustments of the counter spring.<br />
