The design, manufacture, and use of springs can be traced back in time to The Bronze Age. Spring design is a science based on complex arithmetic calculations combined with material science. Springs are used in everyday consumer devices including cellular phones and computers, in industrial applications including automotive and aerospace, and in precision medical devices where a spring with a diameter of .0036” (about equal to the size of a human hair) is used in catheters and endoscopic instruments.
