According to the original patent dug up by the astute and knowledgeable
Mike Hanz of AAFRadio fame, the original wrench was indeed a Bristo.
Designed by Dwight Goodwin of the Goodwin Hollow Set Screw Company in
Waterbury CT.

The confusion comes in due to the wrenches being manufactured by the
Bristol company, also of Waterbury. I think they bought the rights to the
design.
