Hello, everybody
Mate and I arrived at the Siemens & Halske Telefongewinde (telephone thread) #31 of MD 2,160 mm, 51 tpi, and 68 degrees angle. The outer end of this set screw is botched, obviously. Looking at some tables now I see that there is #2 - 56 0.086" UNC size which would be 2,1844 mm OD. Siemens & Halske built Bell telephones early in their career, that made me think an Imperial size could have come to use. 2,16 mm is no man’s land with metric threads.
What makes it more difficult for me is the fact of a steel grub screw in an aluminium part. There are two, actually were, we had to drill one out, the other one had the clemency to turn. These are set screws in the sprocket drums transporting the film with a Zeiss-Ikon Movikon 16 camera. The Movikon 16 appeared in 1932, this examplar is from 1940.
Was or is there an 0.085" MD thread?
