Notice that the top two (inner) coils are broken and almost detached from the rest. The surface rust is the result of less than 48 hours of hanging here. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804418 195804418 The original springs were identifiable as genuine HMV parts. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804417 195804417 The replacement spring (L) and the remaining good original (R). Both are 1¼" wide x 13'6" long and together form a continuous spring (almost a figure-of-8) of 27'0". https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804419 195804419 The N°32 motor and spring barrel after cleaning out the hardened old grease. Don't remove the governor unless its absolutely necessary as getting them set-up again to run smoothly can be a problem. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804420 195804420 The empty spring barrel. Note that the the two spring retaining hooks face in opposite directions. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804421 195804421 The first (bottom) spring fitted. This spring coils in the ant-clockwise direction. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804423 195804423 Shown again with a liberal coating of grease. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804424 195804424 The internal spring divider in place. This plate prevents the two springs from rubbing or interlocking together. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804425 195804425 The second (top) spring is wound into place. This spring coils in the clockwise direction. The two springs working together produce a continuous length of 27'0". https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804426 195804426 The top spring shown again after greasing. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804427 195804427 The end cap and retaining clip are gently tapped into position to close the barrel. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804428 195804428 Finally, with winding gear and great-wheel refitted, the whole spring barrel assembly is ready to go back into the motor bedplate. https://www.thegramophonecollector.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=195804429 195804429
