Hi Barry,
I don't know either except that most threads used at that time were BScycle. A nut of that size would probably have a 20TPI thread which is easily checked with a thread gauge.
normally 26tpi for cycle apart from some of the larger threads

Agreed but on the nut concerned could be 20TPI due to size.
as I said , apart from the larger threads, which were 20tpi and looking at the chart I posted up to 1" were 26 tpi with an option I know of 20tpi, presumably giving the options such as UNF/UNC or BSF /BSW in applications that need one
Cycle thread from 7/16 inch came with both 20 tpi and 26 tpi.
