Spring Note: Some closed body cursors from the 1940s have the spring mounted on a removable plate which is held inside the cursor frame by the cursor window glass. Windows for those cursors are about 1/32" shorter than cursors where the spring is attached directly to the chromed cursor frame; new glasses must be shortened by sanding with ordinary sandpaper to fit.
