Rumor has it that Don Y may have mentioned these
words:
Head style and slot style are independant choices -- though
all of them that I have seen are phillips. The depth of
this "slot" is very shallow as the head is very thin.
Probably half as thick as the distance from flat to crown
on a *pan* head screw... Don North wrote:

No. Take the flat head screw (shown)...
remove the bevel on the back edge (so the head
is a slice of a cylinder)
Then, make the head *half* that thickness.
As I said... imagine a *nail* with a slot cut in it...
