Yikes! Flashback moment. Huge fight with my dad when he tried to convince my brother and I (indentured servants at the time) that the spring was really just a helper and that the pipe was a torque bar that did all the work. Sad day.

I think you can count the coils and the length (or the thickness of the wire).
