DISQUS

I was thinking it was a lot more than 32 years ago as I remember them in England as a kid. (I'm appalled today that people still use slotted screws! Other than decorative purposes I hate them.)

Anyway, I looked around and the Wikipedia doesn't seem to have it right. The most comprehensive online source I came across is from the Phillips Screw Company, though I can't verify their accuracy: http://www.phillips-screw.com/history_about_phi...

Thanks for checking into this. I assume Wired would fact check their articles. Someone should update the Wikipedia page.
