No 2792 for the 5in gauge titfield thunderbolt

"The springs can be wound up from 18-gauge tinned steel wire"

There are 10 turns on the 1/8 pin in the drawing

No 2789 for the 3 1/2"

"Each box can then be
fitted to the horns, and marked, so that
it can be replaced correctly at any future
time. The springs are wound up from
20-gauge tinned steel wire, a job I
have described many times; they should
just start to compress when the box is
at the bottom of the hornslot. Final
adjustment can be made under load.
