John,

I did not intend to imply that the whitworth machines were chosen for the type od thread,

But to the exact opposite the whitworth threads were a product og the purchase of the Whitworth Machines.

Even as late as the mid 40's the Brits held firmly to their own standards and almost never produced other thread types for any reason.

We had a few go rounds with them over this well on up into the 50's when we were contracted "Gov'mt to Gov'mt" to perform certain aero-research for them.
