Abstract: A shoe for ultrasonically inspecting an area beneath the fillets of a crankshaft and the area adjacent each side of the fillets for flaws in the highly stressed fillet area, the shoe comprising a planar surface and a cylindrical surface disposed at a right angle thereto with a toroidal surface forming an smooth transition therebetween and mating with surfaces on the crankshaft, the shoe houses three transducer oriented toward the centerline of the cylindrical surface and disposed to generally form angles of 22.5.degree., 45.degree. and 67.5.degree. with the centerline of the cylindrical surface, the transducer oriented at 45.degree.
