What was found

A MISS ON ONE MAG CAUSED REMOVAL AND EXAMINATION OF THE MAG. THE POINT GAP WAS CLOSED DOWN AND THE POINTS WERE OF A TYPE NOT SEEN IN THIS SERIES MAG BEFORE. SINCE THEY HAD BEEN INSTALLED A SHORT TIME BEFORE, A CALL TO THE INSTALLING AGENCY WAS MADE. ACCORDING TO THEIR SLICK MANUAL, M3637 WAS CORRECT (1993). ACCORDING TO THE '94 (AND '89) MANUAL, M3081 WOULD BE CORRECT. A CALL TO SLICK VERIFIED THE MISTAKE IN THE 1993 MANUAL.
