What was found

(CAN) WHEN AN OPERATOR TRIED TO INSTALL ONE OF THESE CABLE ASSEMBLIES HE FOUND THAT THE END THAT ENGAGES THE SERVO CAPSTAN WOULD NOT FIT PROPERLY SO THAT THE LOCK SCREW COULD BE INSTALLED. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ORIGINAL DRAWING FOR THE CABLE ASSEMBLY PICTORIALLY SHOWED THIS CABLE END SWAGED ON INCORRECTLY. THE DRAWING HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND A SERVICE LETTER WILL BE ISSUED TO CHECK FOR ANY INCORRECTLY INSTALLED CABLE ASSEMBLIES OR SPARES ON HAND THAT MAY BE AFFECTED. (TC NR 20061221006)
