Default Re: Straight Slotted instead of Cross-Point

I've been given to understand that Henry refused to pay for the rights to use the Phillips head fasteners when they first became available (not un-like his refusal to pay Bendix for the use of the "self-energizing" brake design until '49). I believe Phillips head fasteners began appearing on 1942 Fords. DD
