   I think the Phillips patent is 1950s(?) with most showing up early 1960s? Most vintage stuff (early) is slotted till then. There were other similar designs like Reed & Prince and Pozidrive which I believe were work arounds to the original patent. Note European Derailleurs used slotted adjustment screws while the Japanese used Phillips type.
