What indicates the latest configuration of Extractor Catches?

The latest configuration of Extractor Catches is indicated by the drilling of a 1/8 inch hole into each extractor catch. This modification serves as a visual and tactile identifier, signifying that the extractor catches meet the latest specifications or requirements that have been established. The presence of the drilled hole is a clear, consistent method to differentiate the updated configurations from older ones that might not have this feature.

This drilling technique provides an immediate visual cue during inspections or maintenance, allowing personnel to quickly ascertain whether they are working with the most current equipment. Such modifications are often implemented to enhance overall functionality, reliability, or safety in operational settings.

Other options might offer identifiers, like color coding or specific markings, but they may not universally indicate the latest configuration as effectively as the hole drilling, which has a clear, standardized physical presence on each catch.
