## Discrepancy

DOOR 1R ESCAPE SLIDE BOTTLE INDICATION OUT OF GREEN BAND.    THE SLIDE (MR25611-1055) HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM ACFT 4622  WITH A WRITE-UP STATING THAT BOTTLE PRESS NEEDLE WAS IN "RED BAND".   HOWEVER, THE SHOP INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE BOTTLE WAS IN THE "GREEN BAND".  TEMP HAD NOT STABILIZED BEFORE READING (AMM 26-62-00, PG-604).  PERHAPS MECH DECISION TO REPLACE COULD BE DUE TO NOT ENOUGH GROUND TIME TO LET THE BOTTLE TEMP TO STABILIZE, AS INDICATED ON I & R TAG MECH COMMENT, "LOW PRESS PREVENT DELAY AT DEPARTURE."
