I love all the specific information, but it only refers to modern mainsprings. That qualification should be noted; there are lots of older watches out there. -- Chetvorno 23:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Aren't mainsprings also used in clocks? -- Chetvorno 23:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Just a minor adjustment for the Broken link to glossary e.g. "Error 404" Fixed. Stoical Iceman ( talk) 01:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
While reading about mainsprings, I came across a section of this article which includes a sentence about mainspring safety. Now, isn't that un-wiki like? I know that the person meant no harm, but I'm just wondering if I should delete the sentence or not. Montgomery' 39 ( talk) 16:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
I restored the attribution of spring "tiredness" to creep, which is by definition time-dependent deformation of a solid.
(Note that while the normalized operating temperature is less than that sometimes used as a rule of thumb for creep significance -- ~16% of the melting temperature vs. 30% -- the article already states that the material is stored for decades in a stressed state. Creep is a function of time, stress, and temperature; see, for example, Hertzberg's Deformation and Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials.) -- Glengarry ( talk) 12:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Springs are used to store energy. Can we say typically how much energy per kg ? - Rod57 ( talk) 20:25, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I found two vandalism on this page. I reverted it seperately: on the top and on the picture. Not very funny. I will correct my words by the way: Mainspring is now cleared from vandalism. Rdp060707 ( talk) 03:42, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
