Tan Wavhach Narch 11, 1979 Sheet 2 of 2 indicaticn's metal path gave mplitudes of 50% and 112% DAC respecc'vely frcm a s~dard DAC calibracicn utilizing the sm:e search mit and wedge that vere used for the e~inations.

The 50% DAC m~~rerancs cn the 3/8 inch FBH g'ves a bema 'spread angle of 6 1/2 deme s in the projection direction md 8 degre s across the bern.

Sizing the 3/8 inch dimeter rnH to the 50% DAC limits gives 63/60 incnes by I 1/8 inches dir~sicns oversizing the reflector by.609 inches in the projection d~ "eccicn and

.750 inches across the bean.

Reflectors giving similar @rod.t oes at similar natal pat~s ~&eh are sized to the 50% DAC l~ts -~y be Bmected to be similarly ove sized.

Bem spread cor"ect" on of the subsurface indication dizensicns as si:r~z in Fibre 2 gives a length ""c" of 4.521

inches, "ac" of.1603 inches, "t" = 9 inches, a /lc =.035, ac = 1.78% o t,
