 If a thumb screw is made so it can be, "...turned by the thumb...," then what appendage are we to use to turn a wing screw??

I'll go for thumb screw -- it has far longer currency and is defined 
in Webster's Dictionary as "a screw whose head is flattened at the

forefinger".?

Thank you, everybody, for the naming.?
