    I also watch AVE, but it’s Philips heads that were made for early assembly line use to cam out under torque. Specifically for the Model-T if I remember correctly.

      Never watched AVE, I used to be an auto tech.

      The Wikipedia article has an interesting summary.

      Looks like it wasn’t intended by the initial patent, but was discovered as a useful property.
