Here's an XRAY comparison of my 02 std and my 05 R7.

I work for a company that manufactures luggage scanners for airports.
I'll try to get tenon photos later in the week. these images can get much better. I'll try to take more this week.

Interesting how the weight relief holes are grouped so tightly. I was thinking they'd be more evenly distributed.

You think the tenons will show up ? That would be cool if they did. I'd like to see that.

Although very faint, it does show up, I could see it in other photos. I should be able to enhance a photo or 2 to make it obvious. I try tomorrow.
