Some people sent me E-mail, "When I assemble the bail spring, the spring is deformed".

I didn't understand it, because I thought all the people know the assembling way as above.

But I saw the manual of 70's Mitchell. The same process was written.

Then I knew all the people didn't know it. So I made this page.
