The document discusses the history and uses of screws. Screws were invented in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago and were first used as a screw pump in ancient Egypt. Screws have a spiral edge that allows them to tightly attach one object to another and provide more gripping force than simply pushing or pulling. Different types of screws exist with varying thread patterns and uses.
