NOTES:
+ 1000 RPM high stage and VMC booster compressors with Serial No.’s 2198 and below have volute springs, with the exception
of Serial Nos. 2160, 2163, 2168, 2169, 2182, 2183, 2184, 2185, and 2186, which have helical springs. All 1000 RPM high
stage and VMC booster compressors with Serial Nos. 2199 and above have helical springs. The old type volute springs are
available. However, the safety head for volute springs is not available. If a replacement safety head for volute springs is
needed, it will be necessary to purchase the helical spring as well as the safety head for helical springs. When this conversion
is made, it is not necessary to make the conversion on all cylinders of the compressors. It may be well to do so to eliminate
confusion in the future.
