Father Of Modern Screw

Jesse Ramsden, an English inven,
tor. is credited with being the father
of the modern screw. He began in
1775 to pay especial attention TO the
making of screws by machinery, and
his invention may be regarded as the
first example of the modern form of
screw-cutting lathe. although so years
before there had been made in France
a machine for cutting the thread on
the fusees of watches. and 200 years
before Jacob Bessoni had designed a
rude lathe for cutting wooden screws.
