40 years ago would be 1971. WEST epoxy, polyurethane, Torx fasteners, all were available then.
Err.... actually, Philips is a tradename, and it's licensed so there's probably some genuine standards commitment there. Philips markings on a screwdriver used to mean some assurance of quality (maybe still does).
It's also a callout.
I can show you any number of unambitious and acceptable assembly drawings and bills of material that call out Philips screws.
Tradename doesn't matter. I can call out a Philips screw just as I can call out Delrin or or Meehanite as a material.
Or maybe I've missed your point...

Epoxy for those screws that you can't weld...
Go through a lot of screw drivers that way, but for not having to have a thousand bits it's a good thing, eh?

And not one of them made in China.
