I agree, Bristol is accurate... but many military tech
pubs used the wrong spelling.

Where I work all the power techs call "bus bars"
incorrectly, they call them "buzz bars", but 99% of them
have never worked outside the company and all the
internal training materials call them "buzz bars" after
decades of inbreeding so they don't know any better. I
would guess the military trained techs worked the same
way with respect to Bristo vs Bristol.
