hi all .what is the purpose of the second treaded hole on the head of this case?
thanks .Darrol.IMG20120815_007.jpgIMG20120815_005.jpg
 
Looks like pressure test cart. Transducer screwed into base with wires sitting in slot to the edge of the cart. past the breach block then off to measuring equipment away from gun.
