Abstract:  
In This Magazine, I am so fortunate to be in the shot peening industry. I joined SAE in 1983 and became involved with the Surface Enhancement Division of Fatigue Design and Evaluation Committee. This committee assumed the work of The Iron and Steel Committee which previously maintained the documents relating to Shot Peening. I inherited many papers from this committee and it was always interesting to see what was important many years ago. I found several references to shot peening coverage (dating back to the early 1960s). You would think by now we had this topic pretty well covered (poor pun). Read Dr. Kirk’s article on coverage and see what we’ve been missing. It’s dramatic.
