Here is a copy /paste from your link which states -
. ‘Bronze’ rigging screws may be made from either silicon or aluminium bronze.
Hmm.
So surely your link must also not be appropriate to the discussion ?
That's telling him.
In a disagreement between this "Vyv Cox" character and the Cox Engineering website, I'll take the latter every day. Mind you, I find that an even better source of information is "Metals in Boats", by the bloke who runs the Cox Engineering website and is without doubt the definitive metallurgist for boating. You can get it from Amazon at Metals in Boats: Amazon.co.uk: Cox, Vyv: 9781785002625: Books.
