Sorry, Mike.  Bristo is the name that Dwight Goodwin gave in his 1913 
atent, though one of the manufacturers listed is the Bristol Company, 
ho obviously took umbrage with the spelling later on.  Apparently the 
ilitary didn't agree with Bristol. :-)

 Typo errors in the various manuals notwithstanding, the unambiguously
 correct term is "Bristol".  The original maker of such wrenches is
 still in business, and claims the honor of origination at
