        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.
