Lawrie,

And then there is the Canadian invention, a Robertson head which which has a square depression, which you may have encountered on a Model A down under. Ford of Canada stopped using them with the '32 models.

They're a great fastener for places where you do not want the screw driver to ever slip out of a slot, such as attaching the molding retaining the roof insert fabric on a pre-'37 adjacent to a freshly-painted roof. They are popular today with those who install deck slats; the entire boardwalk in Miami Beach is attached with Roberson screws.
