One of the earliest attempts to standardize fasteners. The bolts had a 60° thread angle with flats on the root and crest. The width of the flats was ¹⁄₈ of the pitch. Bolt heads and nuts had a raised area 1/64 inch thick and the diameter of the flat-to-flat width. The length of the threaded portion of the bolt was 1.5 times its diameter.
