[CW] Changing Sprngs

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Richard did the word drawing.  I just colored the patent he referenced.

Richard, you done did great.

I love Richard's way of describing things, he is very accurate and
descriptive, you'd think he was a combination of a physician, watchmaker,
toolmaker, and curator at the Morse Code museum.  I think everyone wants to
go see Disney, but Richard dreams of going to see KPH in Pt. Reyes, CA.
