It's already been pointed out that "4" in "4-40" defines to the size of the screw / hole, and "40" is the threads-per-inch specification.
There are three kinds of lock washers used in Elecraft kits and each has a specific application. The "split" is obvious, and there are both internal and external tooth lock washers. Elecraft does a good job of illustrating the differences with the photographs in the assembly manuals. 73!
