A cylinder, or a cylindrical perforation, having a             continuous rib, called the thread, winding round it             spirally at a constant inclination, so as to leave a             continuous spiral groove between one turn and the next, --             used chiefly for producing, when revolved, motion or             pressure in the direction of its axis, by the sliding of             the threads of the cylinder in the grooves between the             threads of the perforation adapted to it, the former being             distinguished as the external, or male screw, or, more             usually the screw; the latter as the internal, or female             screw, or, more usually, the nut.          Note: The screw, as a mechanical power, is a modification of                the inclined plane, and may be regarded as a                right-angled triangle wrapped round a cylinder, the                hypotenuse of the marking the spiral thread of the                screw, its base equaling the circumference of the                cylinder, and its height the pitch of the thread.          2. Specifically, a kind of nail with a spiral thread and a             head with a nick to receive the end of the screw-driver.             Screws are much used to hold together pieces of wood or to             fasten something; -- called also {wood screws}, and {screw             nails}.
