Nuts and Bolts.
The use of a spring washer with Castle nuts is excellent practice but very rare. As regards the easy handling of bolts and nuts on cars, I have strongly advocated that all bolts be fitted with a " screwdriver notch." This costs little and weighs nothing, does not weaken the bolt head, and allows of it being either held or turned with great ease and with a tool which is universally available. Of course, large bolts well screwed home must be started out with a spanner, but they can almost always be driven the rest of the way with a screwdriver, thus saving much time. — A correspondent in Auto-Car.
