Diagrams of the thermocouples in the literature are labelled inconsistently. It is obvious from the data that the thermocouple labelled TC1 here is out on the surface, as it undergoes the greatest temperature variations on all four probe data sets. Likewise the thermocouple labelled TC4 is obviously the one mounted on the top of the probe, deepest in the hole, as it undergoes the least temperature changes and closely matches the temperatures recorded by the probe sensors in the same location. In many cases, such as in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, Thermocouple 1 refers to the thermocouple on top of the probe, follwed by thermocouples 4, 3, and 2 in the cable in order of distance from the probe. We will use the convention outlined above for this table."
