The story how of the Phillips head was finally accepted by American industry
is very interesting reading. It was a huge improvement for the auto
industry from the slow and problematic slotted head.

I always thought that the Phillips head was designed as an alternative to
the much superior Robertson head (square drive), which was invented in
