Tiles in this test pattern are much smaller, reducing surface area to increase retaining friction coefficient, per pin.

New in the Ring Yard: A test barrel with what appears to be pins arranged for much smaller TPS tiles. Current theory is that these might be placed over the ship section seams instead of using glued-on tiles.
