My local pile-em-high and sell-em-cheap (Buyright In Hadleigh) sells
probably the same boxes of 150 mixed tension and compression springs,
under the ubiquitous 'Rolson' brand, also for a mere £2.
I have a box of these, and rather serendipitiously it happens to have
several 8 dia x 32 long tension springs with little loops on the end
included in the content.
