That does make sense Alan, thinking about it. Without any damping, if you load it, it will go past the point at which the spring equals the force applied, then keep bouncing over and under that compression until it settles. If you damp (slow) the loading, when the spring equals the force the movement should stop (I.e. No over compression). I suppose the best thing is to try it and see what happens.

I forgot about that. Bring it to Mallory. I dare not read it for fear of wanting to play.
