## Discrepancy

ON WALK AROUND INSPECTION, FOUND DELAMINATION OF RIGHT HAND SIDE UPPER SIDEWALL ON THE FLOW SIDE OF THE RIGHT REVERSER AT 12:00 O'CLOCK POSITION MEASURING 12 BY 8 INCHES.  *S/D*  THE DELAMINATION WAS DUE TO MOISTURE INTRUSION THROUGH SEAM.  AIRFLOW CAUSED A LARGER AREA TO PEEL BACK.  THE REVERSER WAS REPLACED FOR SHOP REPAIR.
