As promised here is what I know to be a true Smiths. To add to the confusion however is a page from a 1914 PFEIL,STEDALL & SON catalogue that shows three different types of Smiths, so a little more research will have to be done to clear things up regarding the Cartland adjustable, the original "Smiths" blog post and possibly the Newman version.
Multiple sets of springs for the Smiths and the Cartland adjustable, after much hardship, are on order and should be here mid/to late February.

After much further research I now believe that the "Smiths" was patented in October of 1833 by Andrew Smith of Princes Street London, I have still to find out if this Smith is the same as the Smith of Smith and Turner fame.
