Isn’t Colorado now the center of joint design?

**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.

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!

Thanks. My greatest accomplishment as an engineering designer over the years was screwing metric over every chance I got, lol. Back in 2008 I got a batch of mil spec bolts that were obviously Chinese counterfeit. It would do well in industry to start testing some of the received hardware. Same with drill bits that are made today, utter trash. I had a pack of Dad’s drill bits from the fifties that would cut through steel like butter. Nuts, Bolts, Fastening, and Joining made American industry what it was in the past.
