Before the digital age, actually before electronic analog circuitry, many
devices were "powered" by springs. There were timing devices, initiators,
sensors, etc. There were specialists who could wind springs of various
grades/alloy of metals for specified lengths, diameter, strengths, etc. The
expert shops could produce coil or flat springs and variations of both.
These shops and of course, larger mfg.'s disappeared in the early 70's. Now,
there are very few companies who still custom wind or even produce small
precision springs. Probably companies in India, China, other emerging mfg
nations, might be the place who can still do such work.
