What I'm going to do is grab all of this stuff, and we won't grab the springs, either forward or backwards, and we're just going to grab this slot, and we're going to rotate it around this pivot point here, this one in the middle. So there's three sort of things there, it's the middle one. So Q on the keyboard, or it's the rotator, and hit the back arrow. That's going to give us the correct angle of orientation for the axis, and then we click that node point, and let's bring it forward, say about, I don't know, 40 odd degrees. So 38 will do. Just so we get that sort of impression of what's going on. Let's point out what happens. When we move this lower armature, then if we're leaving this in the same sort of orientation then the large spring is going to be reconnected to that point. If however we're planning on sort of repositioning the upper armature as well, then leave the…
