S.A.E - Standard American Engineers. Now it is called as UNF i.e. Unified Fine threads.
UNF (Unified Fine Thread)
Standardised in 1918
Angle of Thread 60o Degrees
Unified Fine (UNF) and Unified Coarse (UNC).
American threads consist of two common and easily obtained thread patterns known as U. N.F and U.N.C.U.N.F [national fine] is exactly the same as the old S.A.E [standard American engineers] that existed before threads were unified.
U.N.C [national coarse] roughly derived from the British Whitworth have the same pitches except 1/2 in dia where Whitworth is 12tpi and U.N.C is 13 tpi.
Both these threads are 60 degree angle
Early Harley and Indian motorcycles used 24tpi threads on most diameters
5/16 and 3/8 UNF are both 24tpi but 1/4 UNF is 28 tpi and a special 1/4 x 24 thread must be used.
7/32 x 24 UNC is an obsolete thread. In the late 1960's, when even the U.S. was thinking of going metric, the giant BSA corporation decided it was finally time to scrap the 19th Century Whitworth-based system, and switch to American. Since they had lots of money invested in tooling, the switch wasn't made suddenly (or completely), so bikes and cars from the late '60's and later had a mix of all sorts of thread forms. Typically, engine internals (e.g. the thread on the end of a camshaft) stayed with whatever form it used to have, while simple fasteners (e.g. holding the mud guards on) switched to UNF.

Why square threads are used in a screw jack?
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.
Definition of pitch of screw thread?
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
What is Length of engagement in screw threads?
As I recall , 3 full threads is minimum engagement length
Would a screw with more or less threads make work easier?
It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
Which types of screw threads are used in railway carriage couplings?
knuckle threads are used in railway carriage couplings.
Which has greater ima a screw driver with closely spaced threads or a screw driver with threads spaced farther apart?
a screw with closely spread threads
How does the number of threads on a screw affect the distance the screw moves?
the threads determine the depth the screw should move
How does a screw that screws into a screw work?
A screw that screws into a screw works by using its threads to grip onto the existing screw and create a secure connection. The threads on the screw being inserted match the threads on the existing screw, allowing them to twist together and hold in place.
What is the difference between single and double screw threads?
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
What is screw?
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
What is the area called that the screw goes into The part with the ribs like that you screw the screw down into...?
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
Why has a screw threads?
The threads are what make it work. As you will know if you have tried to use a screw with stripped threads, it is useless. That is because a screw is a simple machine built from an even simpler machine: the inclined plane. The threads are an inclined plane wound around the outside of the screw, and are what change the twisting motion into a lifting motion.
What are metric threads?
Metric threads are called that way, because you measure the distance between the threads (at the highest point), in millimeters., As opposed to SAE (standard), which are measured by the number of threads in an inch.
What are the different types of wood screw threads and how do they affect the performance of a wood screw?
There are two main types of wood screw threads: coarse threads and fine threads. Coarse threads have larger gaps between the threads, making them better for softer woods and quick installation. Fine threads have smaller gaps and are more suited for hardwoods and providing a stronger grip. The type of thread can affect how well the screw holds in the wood and how easily it can be driven in.
When a screwdriver is being used to put a screw into a wall where does friction occur?
Friction occurs between the screw and the wall as the threads of the screw "grab" into the material when it is being turned. Additionally, there is friction between the screwdriver tip and the screw head, helping to transfer the torque applied to turn the screw.
Why square threads are used in a screw jack?
