## Discrepancy

THIS FACILITY RECEIVED A HOOVER IND MODEL FR-46, S/N J47 FOR OVERHAUL.  UPON INSPECTION AND PRIOR TO PERFORMING A HYDROSTATIC RE-TEST, THE TWO INSTALLED INFLATION CYLINDERS WERE FOUND TO HAVE INTERNAL RUST.   (CAUSE FOR REJECTION.)  BOTH CYLINDERS HAVE A 521 94 RE-TESTER STAMP ON THE CYLINDERS.  SUSPECT CAUSE FOR INTERNAL RUST COULD BE DUE TO NOT HAVING BEEN DRIED THOROUGHLY AFTER LAST HYDROSTATIC RE-TEST.
