All good info. Thanks. I'm compiling a mini "library" of
spring-winding stuff.

There is a book in the Workshop Practice series, "Spring Design and
Manufacture" by Tubal Cain. It does have at least one chapter on
winding springs. I gave it a cursory glance, some of the same problems
discussed here were covered. See:

There was a crappy pdf version at www.freebookspot.com a while back. It
is readable, may give you some ideas (shrug).
