				  test headform shall be constructed of a metal or metallic alloy having a
				  Brinell hardness number no greater than 55, which will permit ready detection
				  should contact by the striker occur. The surface shall be refinished if
				  necessary before each penetration test blow to permit detection of contact by
				  the striker.
