## Discrepancy

SLIDE WOULD NOT ARM BY GIRT.  INSPECTION SHOWS GIRT WAS OPERATIONAL.  THE PACKBOARD CAME IN WITH MAJOR DAMAGE.  GIRT WAS CHECKED FOR CORRECT POSITIONING AND LENGTH PER P-11886 PACKING MANUAL.  SLIDE HAS NO RECENT HISTORY OF GIRT REPAIR.  NO CAUSE FOR REPORTED DISCREPANT SLIDE ARMING WAS FOUND.  SLIDE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DROPPED DURING HANDLING, CAUSING DAMAGE TO PACKBOARD CORNER.  PACKBOARD WAS REPLACED AND SLIDE MADE SERVICEABLE.
