[Healeys] Fasteners Securing Cardboard Around Fuel Filler Pipe, BJ8

[Dan Stromquist]

The story how of the Phillips head was finally accepted by American industry
is very interesting reading.  It was a huge improvement for the auto
industry from the slow and problematic slotted head.

I always thought that the Phillips head was designed as an alternative to 
the much superior Robertson head (square drive), which was invented in 
Canada, just so Americans did not have to by all their screws from the GWN.
