A ridge of uniform section in the form of a helix on either the external or internal surface of a cylinder.
In other words, the screw thread.
Everything that's been mentioned was made by a machine. Machines weren't possible without screw threads. And not just to be used as fasteners. A screw thread converts rotary motion into linear motion.
Metal lathes and milling machines operate by converting rotary motion into linear motion via a screw thread.
No metal lathes, no milling machines,..no Industrial Revolution.

The machines that made the machines that made the machines that made the stuff couldn't have been made without the screw thread.
