Ballendo,

I'm not possitive but I believe there was a size called 3/16-24. Sorta
like the 14-20 taps I had. I thought they were 1/4-20 but they are not the
same. All sorts of strange sizes have gone away and it is still difficult.
Think what it musta been like 100 years ago. (Commercial) CNC lathes can
machine just about any thread you want now.
