1. HISTORY
Although the Pythagorean philosopher Archytas of Tarentum (5th century BC) is the alleged inventor of the screw, the exact date of its first appearance as a useful mechanical device is obscure. Though invention of the water screw is usually ascribed to Archimedes (3rd century BC), evidence exists of a similar device used for irrigation in Egypt at an earlier date. The Philosopher Archytas st and 2nd screw press, probably invented in Greece in the 1 century BC, has been used since the days of the Roman Empire for pressing clothes. In the 1st century AD, wooden screws were used in wine and olive oil presses, and cutters (taps) for cutting internal threads were in use.

2. GENERAL TERMS
Screw In machine construction, a usually circular cylindrical member with a continuous helical rib, used either as a fastener or as a force or motion modifier. Bolt Mechanical fastener that is usually used with a nut for connecting two or more parts. A bolted joint can be readily disassembled and reassembled. The bolt consists of a head and a cylindrical body screw threads along a portion of its length. Nut is the female member of the pair, having internal threads to match those of the bolt. Washers machine component that is used in conjunction with a screw fastener such as bolt and nut. Usually serves either to keep the screw from loosening or to distribute the load from the nut or bolt head over a large area. Thin flat rings of soft steel are usual.
