As a matter of fact, this drawing of those multi part shocks, gave me the
idea to build them at that time. Those BIC balpoints have a spring inside
which fits exactly over the technic axles. Since I didn't have the money to
buy more technic (I was 11 or 12 years old at that time) I used this idea to
get more shocks...
