So what do you call a spiralled torsion spring like clock mainspring? A spiralled spring? Is there a more common, clearer name?

"Clock spring" is the term I've seen most often. David

An old text I have "Mechanical Design of Machines" (Siegel, Maleev, Hartman) calls them "spiral springs". They are a special case of the helical spring with the angle of the helix zero.
