You can stack these to double or triple the force.
You can flip them over and run them back to back
to  halve the force with twice the deflection.

Now what is it about this paragraph that
confused you guys?

"to  halve the force with twice the deflection."

is what would confuse me. Would it not be one or the other? Twice the
deflection = same deflection from each washer as original single washer
= original force. (?)

Absolutely Charlie that is wrong. But we never seemed to get that far.
 I sure did'nt think too hard before I wrote that.
