## Discrepancy

(CAN) ASB 214-08-70 NOW IN REVISION `C` RELATES TO IMPOSING A LIMIT LIFE ON SPINDLE ASSY 214-030-606-005. WHEN THE ORIGINAL ASB 214-08-70 CAME OUT. THE NEW MFG SPINDLES WHERE SUPPLIED AT THE SAME TIME. THE HOLE PATTERN WAS NOT CORRECT AND THE PIECE WOULD NOT FIT. MFG IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.
