horizontal cut lines every two inches over the height of the form to facilitate cutting in window bucks without needing a level;
High density hard attachment points marked with BB, built into the web flange for attaching bracing and heavy objects with pull strengths exceeding 450 lb. screw extraction pressures;
Web rebar fingers that would lock two steel rebar down positively in multiple locations allowing the proper flow of concrete during the pouring process;
a strong web that had 8 inch spaced web cross bars so a block could be cut in half allowing each half block to maintain the same strength both top
