## Discrepancy

INTERNAL CORROSION FOUND ON ELEVATOR PUSH/PULL ROD. THE CORROSION PRESENTED ITSELF AS A SMALL BIT OF TOPICAL EXTERNAL CORROSION BUT WHEN UNIT WAS CLEANED FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND ANALYSIS IT APPEARS CORROSION WAS INTERNAL TO EXTERNAL AND PENETRATED THE TUBING DIAMETER ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
