inclined plane fasteners in ancient times

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Yes ok!! still the idea started somewhere! is all I am trying to say! instead of transporting water, a fastener "transports" the wood up its spiral, until it gets to the end, but as the screw is not fixed as in a water device, the screw transports it self into the wood! The same principle put to a different use! :wink:

We use the screw for transporting cuttings away from the fluid/solid seperators into storage/transportations recepticals!

I have seen this wire soldered onto a shaft somewhere though!
