Quite a few. There was also what amounted to a brake band around a drum, which was secured at the end of the clip shaft. Might be a photo on the chair 8 page from Baker.
Are there any other riblet chairs that have what look like shock absorbers to limit the swinging?

It’s interesting, for sure. That was also fairly common on Riblets of a certain vintage.

Chair 2 at Sandia Peak has the same style terminal and was also built in 1972
