## Discrepancy

CREW SLIDE FOUND WITH LARGE WAD OF PACKING PAPER BLOCKING ASPIRATOR FLAPPER DOORS.  REMOVED ASPIRATOR FROM SLIDE AND REMOVED PAPER WAD.  PAPER WAS INSTALLED IN THE ASPIRATOR AFTER MANUFACTURE TO PREVENT DOORS FROM OPENING/CLOSING DURING SHIPPING.  PAPER NOT REMOVED DURING ORIGINAL INSTALLATION INTO THE SLIDE ASSEMBLY.
