Can I suggest that the entry labled Torsion_spring#Torsion_balance be split into two distinct entries.

The entry on torsion springs seems to confuse two types of mechanical function: the torsion (rotational resistance and elacticity) and the use of helical springs (which don't use rotational elacticity so much as normal bending resistance, while being wound in a helical spiral)

The torsion balance deserves its own entry. It is one of the most precise experimental tools ever developed, and when grouped with mousetraps, the whole subject is confused. Stewart Fist 01:08, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
