## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING PREFLIGHT INSP ON NEWLY DELIVERED ACFT, DISCOVERED A .5 INCH COUNTERSINK RESTING UNDER ACFT TRANSMISSION. NO DAMAGE WAS FOUND BUT THE TOOL IS LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED FLIGHT CONTROL INTERFERENCE OR TO HAVE CONTACTED THE ROTOR BRAKE DISK. TOOL WAS REMOVED. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN.
