Springhooks

One of the most common and frequently used tools in the repair and maintenance of adding machines was the springhook. With thousands of springs critical to the operation of the mechanical parts in the adding machine, a special tool to manipulate the springs was critical. 

The Burroughs springhooks that were in use in the 1960s are available and can be purchased here.  They are absolutely the same springhooks used by the Burroughs Field Engineers and are available for a limited time described below.  But first, before you ever considering using a springhook, please read the story of the Burroughs springhooks by following this link:  Tools of the Trade - Springhooks
