## Discrepancy

FIND A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE PARTS CORRODED ABOVE THE LOWER BUSHING IN THE GROVE WHERE THE FELT FITS.  THIS PART IS MADE OF MAGNESUM SO THE MOISTURE RETAINED BY THE FLET AND GREASE ALLOWS PART TO CORROD.  MFG ALLOWS ONLY 10 PERCENT OF WALL THICKNESS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE AREA OF THE CORROSION.  THE PITS IN THIS PART WERE APPROX 50 TO 75 PERCENT OF WALL THICKNESS. (K)
