) Sliding probes<br />

Sliding probes are also designed to detect both surface, and subsurface<br />

cracks or corrosion at fastener holes, but are designed to slide along a row of<br />

fasteners (see FIG. 5.18). They are reflection probes, usually with at least two<br />

pickup coils. One type has a central driver coil and four small pickup coils<br />

equally spaced around it and connected differentially, all housed in a block.<br />

Some probes have a recessed slot along the length of the probe for sliding<br />

over protruding fastener heads.<br />
