-"keystone" tip (tip flares out wider than the shaft and is flattened) |
Phillips screwdriver
Early: no markings (same as A)
Late: "Chrom-van" near end, slightly different handle shape than the A
Another type (maybe around 1961?):
marked "No2 Recess"
The first time I saw this type I thought it must have a replacement shaft, especially since it measured 1/4" in diameter (6.35mm) rather than 6mm like the other Phillips drivers. I have subsequently heard of and seen similar drivers in original kits dating from around 1961.
