## Discrepancy

ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK, NOR WOULD CLUTCH ENGAGE (BELT TENSION MOTOR WOULD NOT ENERGIZE); ELECTRIC POWER DID NOT PASS THROUGH A NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCH IN THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY.  REMOVED ASSEMBLY FROM AIRCRAFT;  REMOVED SWITCH FROM ASSEMBLY.  THE SWITCH WAS INOPERATIVE AND HAD LOOSE COMPONENTS RATTLING INSIDE ITS CASE.
