    Brunk B-306, Rulau-Ct-Bt 2B.
    Wallace Barnes was a manufacturer of clock springs (and many other types of steel springs) in Bristol, Connecticut. An old advertisement reprinted in Brunk's book notes that Barnes made his springs from sheets of cast steel (a term used during the 19th-century to signify crucible-made steel). The sheet steel was likely rolled out from crucible-cast ingots. Lots of historical info is available on the WWW/internet, including an image of a building that this firm used.
