## Discrepancy

THE OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHT SWITCH GUARD SPRING IS WEAK AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY, MANUAL OPERATION OF THE SWITCH IS NOT EFFECTED.    REMOVED BROKEN EMERGENCY LIGHT SWITCH GUARD.  REPLACED WITH NEW GUARD. CHECK FUNCTION OF GUARD AND SWITCH ALONG WITH OPS CHECK OF LIGHTS.  ALL OPS CHECKED GOOD.  OK FOR SERVICE.
