Can anyone explain how/why the different thread angles appeared? I thought 
it was accepted that the first 'standardised' thread was BSW, which is a 
55 degree thread, and this was followed by BSF, also a 55 degree. When and 
why did the 60 degree of US standard and metric appear? For that matter, 
why 47.5 degrees for BA/Thrury ?
