## Discrepancy

ON GEAR RETRACTION AFTER TAKEOFF FROM CVG TO ORF, THE NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT LOCK UP AND WAS BOUNCING IN THE WHEEL WELL.  THE CREW RECYCLED THE GEAR AND THE GEAR LOCKED UP PROPERLY.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FLIGHT TO ORF WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO RIC FOR MAINTENANCE.  MAINTENANCE ADJUSTED THE UPLIMIT SWITCH AND LUBED THE GEAR.  GEAR SWING WAS SATISFACTORY AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
