Nope

It aint got anything to do with the type of head. Its whether the thread runs all the way up the shaft or not. Bolt the thread runs up to the head on a screw it stops part way.

Anyone else got any sad bits of trivia they would like to share with us?

A bolt threads into a nut whereas a screw threads into the material to be fastened.

Ok

How about this one - What restrictions and exceptions apply when there is a solid white line in the centre of the road?

And no it dont mean beware drug users in the area!

:rolleyes:

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.

I think you'll find that if a 'bolt' doesn't need a nut it's called a machine screw.

I believe screws are tapered and bolts are not?

This is from the Highway Code

108: Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.

grub screw ( ′grəb ′skrü ) ( design engineering ) A headless screw with a slot at one end to receive a screwdriver

Not likely to have a nut, lock or otherwise.

See

for definite definitive definition

para... (grub screw)... is a general term that i used.. to be specific it would no doubt come under the heading of.... "headless socket screw"

You could say it's a thread about screws and nuts.

And I think u'd get some pretty funny looks if you went to a parts shop/dealers and asked for some cylinder head machine screws or some 'big end' machine screws oh :yes:
