The timeline of utilizing helical grooves extends from ancient mechanical applications in agriculture and engineering to specialized modern uses in both weaponry and threaded fasteners.
Timeline of Helical Grooves (Threading and Rifling)
Antiquity (c. 1st Millennium BCE – 5th Century CE)

c. 400 BCE: Greek philosopher Archytas of Tarentum is credited with inventing the screw principle, applying it to devices like presses for olive oil and grapes.
c. 287–212 BCE: Archimedes (or earlier Egyptians) developed the Archimedean screw, using a helical spiral within a cylinder to raise water efficiently for irrigation and drainage.
c. 1st Century BCE: Wooden screws became widespread in large agricultural presses in the Greco-Roman world, as evidenced by findings in places like Pompeii.

Middle Ages and Renaissance (5th – 16th Century)

c. 1480: Straight grooves were applied to small arms barrels, possibly as "soot grooves" to collect gunpowder residue, rather than for stabilization.
1498: The principle of rifling was first applied to firearms with helical grooves by gunmaker Gaspard Kollner of Vienna or craftsmen in Augsburg, Germany, to impart spin and improve accuracy.
c. 1520: Augustus Kotter of Nuremberg further refined rifling techniques, although the process remained slow, difficult, and expensive, meaning it was not yet widely adopted for military use.
1568: Jacques Besson documented one of the earliest machines designed for cutting screws for fasteners in France.

Industrial Revolution (18th – 19th Century)

Early 1700s: German immigrants to America developed the long-barreled "Kentucky rifle" (or Pennsylvania rifle), which used a tight-fitting patch and ball to engage the rifling, demonstrating superior long-range accuracy over smoothbore muskets.
c. 1750: Lathes equipped with a lead screw (pioneered by Antoine Thiout) allowed for more consistent and repeatable production of threaded fasteners.
1770: Jesse Ramsden created a highly accurate screw-cutting lathe, vital for creating precision instruments and machine parts.
1841: Joseph Whitworth proposed the first national standard for screw threads in Britain, making interchangeable metal fasteners possible.
1849: The invention of the Minié ball (or Minié bullet) by French officer Claude-Étienne Minié revolutionized firearms. Its hollow base expanded when fired to engage the rifling of a musket barrel, allowing for rapid muzzle-loading while still gaining the accuracy benefits of rifling. This invention made rifled muskets practical for mass military use.
American Civil War (1861–1865): Rifled muskets using the Minié ball became the dominant shoulder weapon, fundamentally changing warfare tactics due to their increased range and accuracy.
Mid-1850s: Rifled cannons with conical projectiles were developed, offering greater range and destructive power than smoothbore artillery.

Modern Era (20th Century – Present)

1905: The BSA company built what is considered the first modern air rifle, which was also rifled.
1948: The Unified Thread Standard was agreed upon by the USA, Britain, and Canada, establishing a common standard for imperial measurement fasteners.
1960s: The ISO metric thread standard became the dominant global standard for fasteners.
Late 20th Century: Polygonal rifling (where the bore has a rounded polygonal shape rather than sharp grooves) made a comeback in modern handguns (Glock, H&K) due to claims of increased barrel life and velocity.
Present Day: Modern rifling production methods include hammer forging and electro-chemical machining (ECM). Helical grooves are also used in a vast array of modern applications, including the guidance systems of missiles and torpedoes, and in various rotating mechanisms like pumps and extruders, highlighting the diverse application of this ancient invention.
