spit rear spring - lesson?

[Michael Galloway <mgx@icesar.epm.ornl.gov>]

ok, now i'm starting to get confused. 

if the rear wheel pivots in the inboard/outboard (chamber) direction about
the trunion bolt, i would think that a weaker (longer?) spring would result
in more positive chamber, not more negative chamber. i'm assuming that 
weaker means longer, for the rear spring.


similarly, if someone had installed shorter propeller shafts the chamber
would be more negative. an i seeing this correctly?
