## Discrepancy

DURING OVERHAUL INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE FOUND A 2.5 CRACK UNDER AN EXISTING REPAIR DOUBLER AT APPROXIMATELY FS 1027, BETWEEN S-7L AND S-8L.  THE CRACK PROPAGATED IN THE SKIN FROM THE LOWER FORWARD CORNER OF THE DOUBLER.  IN ACCORDANCE WITH B737-200 SRM 53-30-3 FIG 6, THE PREVIOUS CUTOUT UNDER THE REPAIR DOUBLER AND THE NEW DAMAGE WERE INCORPORATED INTO A SINGLE REPAIR.
