reference station

[′ref·rəns ‚stā·shən]
(oceanography)
A place for which independent daily predictions are given in the tide or current tables, from which corresponding predictions are obtained for other stations by means of differences or factors.
A place for which tidal or tidal current constants have been determined and which is used as a standard for the comparison of simultaneous observations at a second station. Also known as standard station.

It consists of inspecting the entire prop and measuring blade width, thickness and angle at each reference station (defined distances from the hub), check face and edge alignment, grind out nicks and gouges, strip the paint, inspect for cracks, inspect the bolt holes and hub, correct any errors in blade angle and track and then paint and balance the prop.
