[edit] Ajax, Acme, Wile E. Coyote, ...

I think that instead of "Ajax thread" the article should be "Acme thread". done -Coolhandscot

That sounds right (and explains why I couldn't find a Wikilink for the "Ajax" thread form). It was my mistake -- thanks for correcting it!

[edit] Jackscrew or screw jack?

Isn't device shown here a screw jack, a device which employs a jackscrew.

A jackscrew is a more generalized device where a threaded rod rotates, and a nut moves along the length of the rod. As is used extensively in large aircraft or in space flight? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.133.239.162 (talk) 21:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
