## Discrepancy

(CAN) DAILY INSPECTION REVEALED YOKE ASSEMBLY STOP WAS BROKEN BELOW THE ATTACHMENT POINT. THE CABLE CLIP LOWER EDGE WOULD FOLLOW THE CRACK LINE. THE CABLE CLIP WOULD NOT CONTAIN THE BROKEN COMPONENT AND COULD CREATE FURTHER PROBLEMS IF UNIT BECOMES DISLODGED FROM THE RING. THE GRANULAR COMPOSITION OF THE BREAK MAY INDICATE A METALLURGICAL PROBLEM. THIS PART WAS NOT TESTED BUT IS BEING RETAINED IF MORE INVESTIGATION IS REQUIRED. (TC NR 20060922002)
