are 

subject 

to 

static 

charge 

buildup.    This  may  become 
worse 

in 

low 

humidity 

conditions.    An  occasional 
shot of anti-static aerosol can 
eliminate this problem.  Take 
care  to  not  saturate  the 
springs.    Any  liquid  –  water, 
oil  or  solvent  will  impair 
spring feed rates.
