I should get out more.
It is the Royal Microscopal Society thread devised in 1866 36 threads per
inch of the 55° Whitworth form. The male thread has an outer diameter of
0.7965 inch (between 0.7952 inch and 0.7982 inch). The female thread, in the
nosepiece, has a top-of-thread diameter between 0.8030 inch and 0.8000 inch.
