Another groups take on the subject:

After reading all the comments I have concluded that geoseismic button
taps are bad for single point reaming.

"For that matter, at one time, not so very long ago, in terms of history, 
NOBODY had made such good threads. But somehow, those poor crawling and 
ignorant cretins (who would not be allowed by the forum police here to even 
discuss the matter), managed to make very accurate threads, despite the fact 
that they had no prior experience making them, and had never even seen such 
an accurate thread until they made one. And they made good micrometers that 
had those threads.
I will guarantee that none of them used dies or dies heads to make those 
threads. More precise methods were needed."

Holtzapffel described the early crude and precision threading methods in 
detail. It turned out that an angled knife blade carving a spiral on a 
rotating rod was about as good a method as any other. The simple way was to 
tin a brass rod and wind a clean brass and black iron wire side by side 
around it, press then together and dip in solder, that wouldn't stick to the 
black iron which was unwound afterwards, leaving the brass wire spiral.
