Illustration showing the golden angle. The golden angle is the smaller of two angles created by dividing the circumference of a circle according to the golden section. The ratio of the length of the larger arc to the smaller arc is equal to the ratio of the entire circumference to the larger arc. The golden angle is approximately 137.51°.

"A screw cut on a solid, of such form that if any plane be taken through its longitudinal axis, the intersections of the plane by the perimeter are arcs of the pitch-circle of a wheel into which the screw is intended to work. It is so named from having been first employed by Mr. Hindley of York in England." —Whitney, 1889 <p>The hourglass shape of the screw increases the bearing area and therefore reduces wear.
