## Discrepancy

DURING INSP OF MAG FOR POINT WEAR AND CONDITION, A TOOTH WAS FOUND BROKEN FROM THE DIST GEAR.  A NEW GEAR, CONDENSOR, AND POINT WAS INSTALLED.  THE MAG WAS RUN ON A TEST BENCH WITH NORMAL OPERATION.  A POSSIBLE FLAW IN MATERIAL OR A GEAR HOLDING TOOL NOT BEING USED PROPERLY IS SUSPECT CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.  SUBMITTER STATED IF YOU USE A HOLDING TOOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION NOT TO TWIST THE MAG.  ON REINSTALLATION!
