X1.2 Five trained observers rated eight glass and eight plastic and glass ratings. Table X1.1 and Fig. X1.2 contain the
plastic scratches. Each scratch was rated using both glass and mean scratch rating for each scratch.
NOTE—The 3 means near (P = 11, G = 3) and the 2 means near (P = 15, G = 8) were not used since they contained multiple trials where the glass rating
was either 3– or 8+.
