## Discrepancy

AFTER DEPARTING MKE THE LEFT GENERATOR DROPPED OFF LINE AND RESET WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM CREW.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO MKE.  LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.  INSPECTION OF LEFT STARTER/GENERATOR FOUND THE THREADS ON THE STARTER/GENERATOR GROUND TERMINAL ADAPTER HAD FAILED ALLOWING THE GROUND LEAD TO LOOSEN.  GROUND TERMINAL ADAPTER WAS REPLACED WITH NEW.  OPERATIONS CHECKS GOOD.
