1. An information handling system comprising:

  • a housing;

    components disposed in the housing to process information;

    a lid;

    a display disposed in the lid, the display interfaced with the components to present the information as visual images;

    a hinge rotationally coupling the housing and lid, the hinge having a first axle coupled at an end to the housing, a second axle coupled at an end to the lid, a support aligned perpendicular to the first and second axles and holding the first and second axles distal each other and first and second flexible compressive members translating rotation of the first axle to the second axle and the second axle to the first axle;

    wherein the support forms a first guide on a first side and a second guide on a second side, the first guide providing a path for translating force through the first flexible member in a first rotating direction, the second guide providing a path for translating force through the second flexible member in a second rotating direction, the first and second guides enclosed by first and second covers that contain the compressive members to direct compress force between the hinge axles.
