Quote BRISTOL OR BRISTO? MYSTERY SOLVED – Geoff Fors HSN readers have wondered in past issues why military manuals refer to the splined wrenches used in the R-390 series and most other military gear as “Bristo” wrenches while other references call them “Bristol”. I did too, and finally found the answer in the original manufacturer’s 1944 advertising. The design, intended to eliminate stripping common with conventional ‘allen’ hex-key socket screws, was created by the Bristol Company, Mill Supply Division, of Waterbury, Connecticut. Bristol called its unique product a “Bristo” multiple spline socket set screw, dropping the “L” off the end of the company name. So those military manuals aren’t really misprints after all; “Bristo” screws were made by Bristol, and either term is technically correct. Title: Re: Hollow State Newsletter now online!

The Renewal Parts Catalog for this engine lists AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Tools: Offset Bristo Wrench for 5/16" Cap Screws " " " " #10 " " The associated fasteners were used to secure the contacts to the power contactors. Since I could not find the proper wrenches, I managed to remove the Bristo fastners with Allen wrenches and replaced them with Allen fasteners. |
