newhouse springs - 10/21/14 04:27 AM
Anybody notice espicially with older newhouse traps the springs are sometimes odd lengths?
Ive seen handforged newhouse with really short springs.
Ive seen handforged with longer than normal springs.
Then Ive seen #4 and #3 size traps with two springs different lengths on hand forged.
I picked up a #1 size trap recently with a spring on it easily as long as a #11/2 spring.
Where the first #11/2 traps made with sheet metal cut springs or is there trip hammer springs on some of them?
