Comyn Ching in their No 65 catalogue advertised these next floor springs as model no C8509 (Single action) and C8510 (Double action), they were however manufactured by Smith & Turner as in previous blog entries.
In 1961 Smith & Turner were still in business and advertising their single (No 100) and double action (No 200) floor springs for sale through Merchants and Ironmongers only, these floor springs were also known more commonly as The Acme.
However Smith & Turner were not the first to use the word ACME as a name for a floor spring as you will see in the next blog post.
