Here goes a PR with a proposal for the last of the stanli things I have been working on, for your consideration. It redefines the torsion spring to use a fake spiral made out of arcs. This looks a bit smoother (using plot, steps were still noticed) and reaches the "ground" perpendicularly. It also has something of my personal taste, it is not linear. Definition uses a new variable \springTorsionRadius to control the size of the spring, which should allow for easier resizing. It is chosen to match the point to "ground" distance in bearings.
This PR also includes a clockwise variant for the torsional spring.
PR also includes a minor rewording of the stanli.tex support{5*} section, just to have all \hinge{1} stuff stay in the page.
This is how entry in stanli.pdf entry would look with the changes
Here goes a comparison of current and proposed shapes (red lines do not go into PR).

As before, none of the pdf files are rebuilt.
