    Since slotted screws were invented in the 1400's I say your claim has no merit. ;)

    A Robertson, also known as a square,[18] screw drive has a square-shaped socket in the screw head and a square protrusion on the tool. Both the tool and the socket have a taper, which makes inserting the tool easier, and also tends to help keep the screw on the tool tip without the user needing to hold it there.

    Right....You guys made it all fucked up. We fixed it by having the "square" on the outside. That way, If you dont have a screw drover? USE A WRENCH! But.....what kinda wrench? ANY FUCKING WRENCH!



    Dont be hatin. After all, you guys made the arm of the space shuttle, after we gave you the parts, plans, then had someone finished it after you were done :)
