[Healeys] camber

[Bob Haskell]

Listers,

Would someone please explain leaf spring camber to me?  The Anderson/Moment 
restoration book states that three different rear springs were used on the 
100 and that they had different amounts of loaded camber.  The first was a 
seven leaf spring with 1/4" negative camber.  The second also had seven 
leaves, but 1/2" positive camber.  The final spring had eight leaves and 
negative camber.  Last paragraph in the first column on page 26 for those 
that are playing at home.

Camber is not discussed in the six cylinder section of the book.

Not understanding what camber is with a leaf spring leads me to questions 
like: Do the springs have a front and rear end?  Apply to after market 
springs?  How do you measure camber?

Thanks,

Bob
