Making this deduction, it w'ill be found that the angle of 55" gives for the actual depth rather more than three-fifths, and less than two-thirds of the pitch. The precaution...
Página 342 - It will be observed that above one inch diameter the same pitch is used for two sizes. This could not have been avoided without introducing small fractional parts. The economy of screwing apparatus was also promoted by repetition of the thread. It is important to remark that the proportion between the pitch and the diameter varies throughout the entire scale. Thus, the pitch of the | inch...
