## Discrepancy

CABLE WAS INSTALLED TO AIRCRAFT.  PRE-TENSIONED TO 200 FEET/POUNDS (PER MM) WHILE AILERON CONTROLS WERE RUN THROUGH WHILE CABLE WAS UNDER TENSION AT 200 POUNDS, A SMALL 'BULGE' WAS NOTED AT APPROIXMATELY MID-CABLE LENGTH.  AN INTERNAL CABLE STRAND HAD BROKEN (APPARENTLY) UNDER THE PRE-TENSION LOAD.  ANOTHER NEW CABLE WAS INSTALLED.  LEARJET FIELD SERVICE WAS INFORMED.
