bristol spline srews

Could you describe a "bristol spline screw" Google-images no help other
than
they are used on 30KV rated relays


Bristol was used in electronic equipment build by the US during
W.W.-II.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrench, almost half way down the page.

http://www.bristolwrench.com/ still makes them.

They are availible from a lot of industrial tool dealers.

A lot of people called them 'Spline Wrenches' instead of Bristol
Wrenches.

There is a UK tool supplier called Britool confusingly

Never realised there was so many spline types, Pentalobe etc

Protruding obstacle variants ? pipped is a much more succinct term


Bristol has mostly been replaced by Torx.
