>people not knowing why shitty phillips head screws are used in everything instead of glorious robertson screws

>way back when Ford was getting going and starting up assembly lines they needed a special tip to put on the ends of screws and things

>robertson screws were patented by a guy and were obviously superior

>Ford said they would only use roberston screws if the guy sold ford the rights to them so they owned it outright and wouldnt have to pay the guy royalties

>guy said no because he wanted to retain the rights

>ford told the guy to fuck off and went with phillips heads on all their stuff and they took off from there
