Self-aligning screw thread?
In the 21st century, has someone not invented a screw thread which always aligns perfectly? Even a simple bottle top never goes on straight, you have to turn the bloody thing backwards to make it jump into place.

The closest thing I have seen to that is a screw with a fairly long section of un threaded lead the same size as the I/D of the hole. It allows you to get the screw started and parallel before the threads engage. |

Of course we can cure many others with antibiotics, but they have become so rare that no one gets them anymore. Many cancers can be cured by chemotherapy.

Probably because they were originally derived from artillery range maps or drawn by the people who made that kind of map. I thought perhaps I was confusing two words, but I wasn't. You were :-) Ordinance = a law Ordnance = explosives The maps are called "Ordnance Survey" - so I guess you may be right about artillery range maps. In fact you a https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/abo...w/history.html "The name Ordnance Survey hints at how it all began. Britains mapping agency has its roots in military strategy: Mapping the Scottish Highlands following rebellion in 1745. Later, as the French Revolution rumbled on the other side of the English Channel, there were real fears the bloodshed may sweep across to our shores. So the government ordered its defence ministry of the time €“ the Board of Ordnance €“ to begin a survey of Englands vulnerable southern coasts. Until then, maps had lacked the detail required for moving troops and planning campaigns. It was an innovative young engineer called William Roy who was tasked with the initial small-scale military survey of Scotland. Starting in 1747, it took eight years to complete what was known as the Great Map at a scale of 1:36 000 (1.75 inches to a mile). Roads, hills, rivers, types of land cover and settlements were recorded. William Roy described it as rather a €˜magnificent military sketch than a very accurate map of the country. Roys surveying parties of about eight relied on simple surveying compasses to measure the angles, and chains up to 50 feet long to measure distance between important features. Much of the rest was sketched in by eye. Nevertheless, the map was a powerful tool as part of a broader strategy to open up access to the Highlands. The fact that Roy was just 21 years old with no military commission when he started the survey makes his achievements even more extraordinary. His work paved the way for modern surveying and he understood the strategic importance of accurate maps. At the time of his death in 1790 his vision of a national survey for Britain was almost within reach." |

One basic flaw with the "turn backwards to catch the thread" approach: you've just carefully wrapped the threads with teflon tape in the right direction, and now you've unwound it.

Even a simple bottle top never goes on straight, you have to turn the bloody thing backwards to make it jump into place. Methinks what you are looking for is called a "cork". BTW, we teach our children the "turn it backwards" maneuver. In the ordinance business we had to unteach that trick for guys installing long time delay bomb fuses. Oh boy, I would have been mincemeat for sure because I am unteachable. Are you a "whoops I forgot I wasn't supposed to do that" kinda person?

Sounds fine to me. Do they do foreign countries? I wouldn't know, and why would the customers? Only the ones we've invaded. All countries should be invaded. That's why it's called "race". |
