Chain tension on a derailleur bike is automatically adjusted by the spring on the derailleur arm, so these bikes have a vertical dropout slot withno adjuster screws. The advantage of the vertical dropout slot is that high chain tension will not cause the wheel to slip forward. I have never seen a vertical dropout with an adjuster screw.
