Excuse me if I have the nomenclature incorrect, but the swing out arm, that's the Crane, right ?
Now, on a 744 that I saw last week, there seems to be a large qty or very small holes, like it was made that way. They were on the rounded surface, and the flat angled surface just above it towards the opening-latch.
Seems like it wouldn't affect operation or reliability at all.
Just wondering if this was common (or too common) on some 744's in the past...
How do I include an image ?
TIA

...and on the small part of  the frame just underneath it seems also.Â
I have no definitive answer. Those with more knowledge will be along shortly.

Looks like corrosion pitting from here. Â Either that or air bubbles in the casting.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

IMO that pitting isn't going to affect the integrity of the crane. Most likely a piece that wasn't finished well or had a bad cast, as Scorpio stated.

I was thinking it was made that way...no big deal I guess.
