## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION OF THE STATION 870 AREA AT C-CHECK IT WAS FOUND THAT THE NR 3 ENGINE THRUST CABLE WAS FRAYED TO THE POINT OF 1 (ONE) STRAND REMAINING.  THE CAUSE WAS IMPROPER ROUTING OF THE CABLE.  THE CABLE WAS NOT ON THE PULLEY AND WAS CHAFING ON THE PULLEY BRACKET.  THE PULLEY/CABLE SECURING PIN WAS IN PLACE.  THIS AREA WAS LAST ACCESSED DURING THE PREVIOUS CHECK.
