Determining the correct 5-leaf springs - 69 SS 396

There had to be some quick way for the production worker to know things like A/C + 396 = XXX spring etc etc..

Anyone know how that took place in the production setting?

Yes, the total weight of the car was calculated based on the options purchased. The computer selected the spring needed to handle the weight and printed a 2 letter code on the Chassis Broadcast sheet. The assembly line worker looked at the sheet and grabbed the corresponding spring from the rack. The Assembly line worker did not have time to calculate just grab and go.
