Square Drive Recess: This recess was invented by P.L. Robertson (founder of Robertson, Inc.) in 1908 and was the first production fastener with an internal recess.
In 1908, P. L. Robertson began to manufacture a square recess impression in the head of a screw in Milton, Ontario, Canada. He was a brilliant toolmaker that injured his hand while driving a slotted screw and started developing a better recess. At that time, it was a revolutionary change in the fastener industry. It has a more positive fit that reduces "cam out" and requires only 4 foot pounds of pressure to keep the bit engaged. An early attempt to introduce these Square Recess Screws into the United States failed so they were confined to the Canadian Market until the 1970s. The Phillips Head was introduced in the 1930s and would "cam out" instead of being over torqued by the new power drivers of the time. Henry Ford tried out Square Drive and found them to save time in the production of the Model T. Ford wanted to License the Square Drive and when Robertson refused, Ford went with the Philips and allowed the Square Drive to be used in Ford's Canadian Production. For the auto industry that was fine where woodworkers work concerned about the finished look of their product. Eventually, the Robertson Recess screws migrated across the border making their place in the furniture and woodworking trades, especially with the growing popularity of pocket hole joinery. A new hybrid is the combination of the Square-Phillips, Combo or Recex Recess that you can use either or Square/Philips bits. The first patent was issued in 1909 and the last patent expired 55 years later in 1964. For his invention, P.L. Robertson screws and screwdrivers carry his name to this day.
