The ones I remember were SD,SE,SG.SH,SI and UI. Mostly in McCall boats but I think he may have set an SD kilo record in a Raveau.

I set the limits from voids found in broken shafts; then made setup masters with drilled holes that would register the limits on the Ultrasonic scope screen. Used angled probes to play pitch and catch through the weld area.
