Not unlike waiting forever for the 2nd season of your thirteenth favourite Netflix series, here is Chapter 2. Regardless of which reference reflector you use, you should be able to predict the effect each one will have on your inspection. Go in armed, kids.

An entertaining romp through the hills and valleys (mostly valleys) of ultrasonic beam plotting and angles when dealing with curved surfaces.
