Some years ago there was an article [in HSM I believe] about putting a
special hydraulic cylinder in place of the downward pressure spring.
Can any one tell me what issue this was in or where else I might find
this article?

Thanks in advance.

An extremely simple kludge is to use a moveable weight.
There is a handy ridge on the top half of the blade support
casting. The posiion of a 4 kilo weight rested on this gives a
very useful simple variation of downfeed pressure.
