## Discrepancy

MLG ACTUATOR WAS RECEIVED DUE TO INDICATIONS FOUND IN THE END CAP DURING ULTRASONIC TESTING.  ACTUATOR WENT THROUGH A PRELIMINARY INSPECTION AND A COMPLETE FUNCTIONAL TEST WITH NO EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF LEAKING OR CRACKING.  AFTER DISASSEMBLY, A CRACK IN THE INTERNAL RADIUS OF THE END CAP WAS CONFIRMED BY A FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION.
