## Discrepancy

DAMAGED ASPIRATOR AND HOLES IN THE OPPOSITE TUBE.  ASPIRATOR CAUSED HOLES IN THE TUBE.  ALSO, ASPIRATOR HAD A BAD SEAL WHICH MADE IT LEAK. PATCHED THE INFLATION CHAMBER AND REPLACED THE ASPIRATOR.  ROOT CAUSE WAS ASPIRATOR PACKED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO ABRADE A HOLE IN SLIDE TUBE DURING NORMAL DOOR OPERATION.
