**What the majority of researchers on this topic do agree on, though, is that it was the Industrial Revolution that sped up the development of the nut and bolt and put them firmly on the map as an important component in the engineering and construction world.**

Steel is what makes the modern world possible. The Industrial Revolution happened because men finally figured out how to make steel a whole lot faster than they had for the previous couple thousand years.

Today you can go down to your local hardware store an buy bolts and nuts that mate up perfectly well. Most are from China and can be very good and some are absolute crap in tensile strength. Some are real garbage. When you buy that bolt, nut or screw you do not know if it is good stuff or crap.

I wish bolts, nuts and screws were labeled with tensile strength.

A screw / bolt is a simple machine comprised of an inclined plane rotated about an axis. It has existed for thousands of years in some form or fashion. We’ve just improved on the basic idea through standardization and better materials.

So it was developed in the 15th century, but started in 200 BC, except the Egpytians had it earlier, but some Greek guy...

Oh - Screw it!

Also the chemical composition...and for high tech work...the manufacturing technique...and finally the corrosive potential
