Very interesting page.

I'd been aware of Reid and Prince for over 50 years, but hadn't heard 
anyone mention them in quite a long time.

One curious thing is that they use the term "Square Recess" instead 
of "Robertson."
I'd always heard them called Robertson.
I believe it was McFeely's in Lynchburg, Virginia that was 
instrumental in reviving interest in the Robertson bit.
