Here is a picture of the first step in making SWF and SHO semaphore return springs. (The spring that coils around the hinge pin). A real challenge, made by hand, using correct gauge stainless steel spring wire.
Next step is to individually form them for SWF smooth and ribbed and SHO smooth and grooved. That’s the easy part as is setting/adjusting tension when installing.
