What was found

(CAN) INK STAMPED NUMBERS ON PART INDICATE THIS IS A BREAKOUT PART ACCORDING TO BELL TEXTRON, MANUFACTURED FOR US ARMY BY MORRIS MANUFACTURING. PURCHASE RECORDS AT BELL HELICOPTERS AS FAR BACK AS 1979 INDICATE THAT MORRIS MANUFACTURING WAS NEVER A SUPPLIER FOR BELL. PART CERTIFICATE THAT CAME WITH THE PART STATES OTHERWISE. AN FAA FORM 8120-11 WAS RAISED THROUGH BELL HELICOPTERS TEXTRON.
