Cheesehead screws are called that because the head looks like a wheel of cheese, believe it or not.
As I mentioned over on SSW, that is an EXCELLENT restoration.

From an old discussion on this forum, some had "cheese head" screws and some came with hex screws. I bought mine in mid-late fifties and it has the hex screws. There was a small wrench (long gone) in the box if I remember correctly.

In any case, I took some pics of them in case someone has that version. I have no idea of which was used first.
