The Order of the Auger
A Russian-language society devoted to screw conveyors, with a history of the screw, a taxonomy of its forms, and a gallery.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the subject as a miniature institution, with a historical chronology, an eight-part classification, and a gallery devoted to screw diagrams and illustrations. Its examples span Archimedean irrigation, industrial conveying, extrusion, 3D printing, and meat grinders, while the copy repeatedly frames the mechanism as simple, durable, and continuously useful. Membership is described as free and permanent, though the extract does not reveal what joining actually enables.
