12、ews,nuts,rivets,and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922 as Sectional Committee B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards Association,then the United States of America Standards Institute and,as of October 6,1969,the American National
13、Standards Institute,Inc.)with the Society of Auto-motive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors.Subcommittee 2 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for tech-nical content of standards covering wrench head bolts and nuts.Subcommittee 2
14、,after appraisal of the requirements of industry,developed a proposed standard series of bolt head and nut dimensions.This proposal was finally approved and designated a Tentative American Standard in February 1927.A first revision of the document was designated as an American Standard in March 1933
15、 and was followed by a second revision which was granted approval as an American Stan-dard in January 1941.Following reorganization of the B18 Committee in 1947,Subcommittee 2 was asked to expand the standard on head proportions into a complete product standard.A proposal covering square and hexagon
16、 head bolts and nuts,hexagon head cap screws,and automo-tive hexagon head bolts was prepared and submitted to the B18 Committee in April 1950.While this draft was under consideration,the B18 Committee received a proposal from the British Standards Institution for unification of dimensions on products incorporating uni-fied screw threads.The Committee welcomed the opportunity of discussing the proposals and an American-British-Canadian Conference was held in New York on June 1 and 2,1950.It was a
