"Cutting to the chase", has anyone documented a case where the compensator port spring has actually failed in operation? "

How much documentation exists (ever released to public or dealers) about ANYTHING failing prior to ca. 1965 ????
Witness the V8 oil pump. Relatively little documentation compared to the size of the problem as well as most of the documentation that is KNOWN to exist is questionable in relavence to the problem anyway.
It was FIFTY years ago. Not 10 years ago. It was a different world. A 30 day warranty. Not a 5 year warranty.

As for the steering head breaking on the 1907 Trump, i mean what do u want???? How much documentation exists for a 1907 ANYTHING ???? How much did they publish in 1907 anyway???? Probably very little.

One can not use 2007 expectations or analysis to explain something that is 50 to 100 years old.
