The knob set screws on my BCC-221 AH accept Bristol 6-flute spline wrench of 0.096" diameter. This is the Xcelite driver number 99-66. 

I cannot verify that the earlier medium-base tube frequency meters used the same set screws, BUT,

The LM-20 here uses the same setscrews in three knobs and the CORRECTOR metal knob set screw accepts Bristol 6-flute spline wrench of 0.050" diameter. This is Xcelite driver 99-66. 

PS:  I have not heard of METRIC Bristol spline wrenches/screws. If they exist(ed), I'd be glad to get any available details. 

Roy sends.
