13. Cooling curves along the Jominy test piece giving
    the ratio theta/thetaA as a function of time
14. Variation in the cooling rates at approximately 700
    deg C, in degrees Celsius per second, of points on
    the surface of the Jominy test piece as a function
    of their distances from the quenched end
