Ref?

Is a reference available for the sales statistics? -- Mikeblas 10:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

The picture of the Robertson screwdrivers doesn't add much to the story. A close-up of a screw or screwdriver head would be more useful.

Photo-what good i it?

What good is this photo? It shows the handle and shaft, but you cant make out any detail on the business end! 8-(--Light current 23:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a new one for you - complete with close-up! Matt Deres 22:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate

The reason given for the Robertson Screw not being popular in the US doesn't look right to me. I'd like somebody to verify the reason for Ford's rejection of the Robertson Screw.

It should also be noted that the Robertson Screw this screw allowed the first assembly lines to happen. They were used in Ford's Plant to make the first cars. http://www.discoverychannel.ca/science/how/facts_figures/screw/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brillpappin (talk • contribs) 03:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Added recess dimensions

I was looking for the dimensions of the recess on square drive/Robertson screws and couldn't find them here, so I added them. My first Wiki-edit!

Is this true, or supported by a reference?

Quote from the article:

Robertson screws are used mainly in Canada, but are growing in popularity around the world, as they are one of the most reliable screwdrivers.

As for growing popularity: I've never seen them before, so I doubt that (but this anecdotal evidence :) ).

As for reliable, to me the torx is the most reliable and seeing the shape of the Robertson, I doubt very much that a Robertson is more reliable than a torx. --Xenan (talk) 20:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update I see SuperLuigi31 has removed the phrase. Xenan (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Robertson screws are used mainly in Canada

This statement is unsourced, and I think not correct. I know they are used here in Norway. I'll remove it. 62.73.248.52 (talk) 11:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recreational vehicles and manufactured homes

Robertson screws have been extensively used in the recreational vehicle industry, in trailers and motorhomes with wood framed bodies, and in manufactured homes built on steel frames. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.178.123 (talk) 23:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
