There has been an accident in
Alabama where a roman screw retracted from the lower spar (due to a
wear of supporting bushing) and wings collapsed during a high speed

What is a roman screw?
Is it the same type of wing fixing that the SHK used?

I've not seen the term before and a web search failed to find a suitable
definition.
