6. Preparation of test piece for measurement of
    hardness and position of hardness measurement points
7. Specification of hardenability by two limiting
    curves
8. Specification of hardenability by hardness at a
    given distance from the quenched end
9. Specification of hardenability by a given hardness
    between two distance limits
10. Specification of hardenability by a range of
    hardness at a given distance from the quenched end
11. Subsidiary standard test piece
12. Correlation between sub-standard 12.5 mm diameter
    and standard 25 mm diameter test piece results
13. Cooling curves along the Jominy test piece giving
    the ratio theta/thetaA as a function of time
14. Variation in the cooling rates at approximately 700
    deg C, in degrees Celsius per second, of points on
    the surface of the Jominy test piece as a function
    of their distances from the quenched end
