Return lever spring - Klein-Urania 1936
Help needed.
Was just about to begin the dismantling and cleaning of an old Urania typewriter and this happened:
As I unscrewed the return lever, the spring that works the joint flew out... I found it on the floor (after a good 30 minutes and of course right underneath my chair...) but because it flew out before I had the change to memorize how it was installed, I know sit with this spring and a couple of wasted hours of hopeless tries to squeeze it back into position.
Has anyone got a picture of the spring in its place under the lever without a history of violence by a stupid dane?
Or helpful intel, Urania experience or otherwise?
Thanks.

The line space lever is on the right side of the carriage on that model, isn't it?
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

It most certainly is. And it should swing back to its original position after a line change but now it just stays because the spring doesn't swing it back. I can't seem to figure out how the spring should be placed again and its a real strain to try and force it back in.

And I don't like using muscle on a typewriter. Shouldn't be necessary.
