## Discrepancy

THIS PART WAS JUST OUT OF OVERHAUL.  IT WAS THE FIRST LANDING AFTER INSTALLATION.  THE WHEEL HALF FAILED AT BEAD HALF AND ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE WHEEL HALF BROKE OFF.  AT THE MID-POINT OF THE BREAK, THE MATERIAL HAD A POLISHED LOOK AND APPEARED IT HAD BEEN WORKING PREVIOUS TO THE FAILURE.  IT APPEARED THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A FLAW THAT WAS UNDETECTED IN THE INSPECTION.  (X)
