Re: When/where did worm-type hose clamps first appear?

Attached below is a pic of an actual clamp of the type that Randy is talking about.
While I've never been sure that this is the exact clamp originally supplied as P/N 230085, it looks close enough and works great with the cast water pump inlet on my V8s. The band is a bit thicker than most and slightly cupped, as if an intent to avoid cutting into the hose.
Spring wire clamps suffice for all other water connections on the car.
