Our plumbers are so adept at making any thread fit another (using a pipe and shifter or, for rounded-off heads, king-stilsons) that E-S has omitted several threads that the true aficionado will surely recognise:

A variety of French Round threads as well as their asymmetrical trapezoidal thread and the Czech tire valve thread for several.

(Leckie uses only Molegrips to butcher mechanical fastenings).
