Originally designed in the 1970-ies as a modern version of the standard tapered thread. The mayor advantage was, that the relatively sharp thread was replaced by a much more easier to clean rope thread. The dimensions of the male and female thread are more in balance, making it somewhat stronger than the standard thread.
