This test shall be perfo~med on all six sides of the case,a total of six impact blows. The maximum allowable permanent deforma-tion shall be 3/8 inch. T}]ereshall be no puncture, fracture, or split-ting of the side or corners of the transitcase.

b. Cylindrical,Type 11 case - The impact test for cylin-drical transit cases shall be identical to the test performed in 4,6,4a,except for the location of impact points, and total blows The center ofthe top, bottom, and a spot on the center of an element of the cylindershall be marked. The test shall then be performed as described in 4.6.2.3.a.A total of three blows shall be performed. There shall be no puncture,fracture, or splitting of the Tfie IImanent deformation shall be 3/8 inch.
