When was the Phillips head screw invented and why?

The Phillips head screw was invented by an obscure employee from the Ford Motor Company named Alexander Pendrew in 1923. He devised this screw to isolate the manufacture and repair of Ford products. A person was required to Push Hard (PHillips) to install it easily but the design caused removal to be more difficult thereby ensuring that the screw would remain installed even during vibratons caused by driving conditions at the time.I think it was patented in the 1930s. It was invented to provide an "automatic screw-driver" function on assembly lines. When the screw was tightened sufficiently, the bit would start to slip.That is, unlike the TORX screw, the Philips-head was not for the purpose of increasing the torque on screws.Henry F. Phillips formed the Phillips Screw Company in 1934, and after refining the design himself (U.S. Patent #2,046,343, U.S. Patents #2,046,837 to 2,046,840) for the American Screw Company of Providence, Rhode Island, succeeded in getting the design quickly adopted by industry.

Large scale mechanization is impractical on small plots because of such problems turning the equipment sound, getting from tiny plot to tiny plot. The head land is wasted as machines take considerable space to round that is impossible on the small plots.

Would a long screwdriver with a narrow handle or a short screwdriver with a wide handle be the better choice for driving a screw into a board?

i think a screw into a board a long screwdriver with a narrow handle


Which would be the better choice for driving a screw into a board a long screwdriver with a narrow handle or a short screwdriver with a wide handle?

Long screw driver with a narrow handle would give the most torque, therefor it would be best It would also depend on the blade of the screw driver. The blade should fit well into the slot in the screw so if the long screw driver with the narrow handle had a small narrow blade that was too small for the screw then another one would be better.


How do you change the clock light on a 1998 ford contour?

Simply use a small screwdriver to pry gently around the frame of the clock and it should fairly easily pop out of the dashboard. Then it is a simple mater of removing the bulb from behind the clock with either a small screwdriver or a 1/4" nut driver. Where to but a replacement im not sure of, i think ill try a junkyard.

What does a screw do to the force you apply?

How much force is needed to push a screw/nail into the wood is a function of the size of the surface area of the part of the screw/nail that you are trying to put in. This idea is described in the pressure function which says P=F/A The wood has a certain resistivity to deform but with enough Force (applied with a hammer/screwdriver) over a small enough Area (the bottom of the screw/nail) the Pressure will be enough to drive it through. your mom

How can you get to a 2004 Xterra parking Light?

Lift the hood and remove the small screw on top of the headlight housing. Then you have to remove the grill by pushing in on the clips deep inside with a long screwdriver. I think there were about 8. Once you pull the grill forward you can access the other screw to the headlight housing and remove. Pull the housing forward and pull out the small white light chamber. Now you can replace the bulb. Push the housing back and secure with the screws. Now have fun trying to all those clips back into the grill holes and push the grill back into place. The internet said only 1 screw and 1 clip and pull forward but that so didn't happen. Good luck!
