[Hallicrafters] Bristol drivers

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

"The last thing you want to do is file or grind the tip off to avoid burrs."

HMMM....I do this all, the time.  My Xcelite Bristol's are about an inch 
shorter than new.  I just hold it between some leather backed channel-locks 
so that about an eighth of an inch protrudes and grind it off with a medium 
grit wheel.  I then VERY lightly rotate the ground end against the side of 
the wheel so that any roll-over burrs are gone.  Works like a charm.

73, Charlie k3ICH
