The "indentation" that runs along the body side of the 73-79's refers to the "dentside"...
As a counterpart the 67-72's have a "bump" that run the length of the body...
Hence the terminology.

Yeah, "Concave Side" doesn't have a ring to it.....
Plowside?
Furrowside?
Scoopedside?

Ditch side would get too many jokes from the Chebby crowd.

Flute side sounds like something a hippie in a commune would drive
