The reports indicate test types; radiographic report, part, and batch numbers; limits of resolution; whether the items were accepted or rejected; comments; authorizing signatures; and dates. The X-ray film shows various views of the components or assemblies being tested. Logs that are also a part of the series were used to track the completed tests.
