I read some where that ford saved over $1.00 per car by using Robertson screws, so it must have been quite a dislike to give up on $5,000,000 over the whole model A production.

Maybe Henry wanted to save $1.50 a car. Or Robertson couldn't or wouldn't supply the quantity needed. All too often big companies eventually get 70-80% of a suppliers output and then it becomes deal or die.
