Art of Precision - Spring Issue

Welcome to our first issue!

Springs are both delicate and strong. They create tension and balance. They have existed since the Bronze Age in one form or another.

In the seventeenth century, Robert Hooke, a man long considered the British Leonardo da Vinci, invented the clock spring, the microscope and discovered the cell. He also developed a mathematical equation that bears his name and still influences the design of springs.

Hooke's Law

  • The extension is proportional to the force
  • The spring will go back to its original length when the force is removed

... so long as we don't exceed the elastic limit.
