## Discrepancy

THE QUADRANT ON RUDDER TORQUE TUBE WAS FOUND TO HAVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE TUBE AND THE QUADRANT. UPON LAST INSTALLATION A INDEX LINE WAS PLACED ON THE TUBE AND QUADRANT. WITH THE GUST LOCK ON AND THE RUDDER PEDALS MOVED BY AN INDIVIDUAL THERE WAS MOVEMENT OF THE TUBE IN THE QUADRANT NOTED BY THE INDEX LINE SEPARATING.
