Hi Richard,

If you don't mind, I'd like your views on why 'strong' repetition springs
improve speed (of repetition?).  My experience has been that the stronger
the reps springs are adjusted, the more difficult reliable backckecking
becomes and the more noticeable the 'bump' becomes when hammers are released
from check.
