## Discrepancy

BROKEN HOSE AT ASPIRATOR.  THE HOSE WAS FOUND BROKEN AT ASPIRATOR CONNECTION DURING MAINTENANCE OF THE SLIDE IN THE SHOP.  A PROBABLE CAUSE IS KINKED ROUTING OF THE HOSE DURING THE PREVIOUS PACKING OF THE ASSEMBLY.  THE STRESS ON THE HOSE RESULTED IN ITS BREAKAGE.  HOSE WAS REPLACED AND CMM PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED.
