What did I find in the bottom of my MEP?

There was one on each side. The tubes on the bottom were where the Compressor Discharge Air expelled the dust.

I took an ARI, (air restriction indicator) apart in 1973? 1974? when I was bored stiff one night/morning, at 04:00. In the engine compartment, nothing has a spring so small and thin, that I can think of, other than the ARI.

Dang, you must have been bored. Not so much because you did it but because you remember it.

We were working 24 on, maybe 20 off at the time. Months on end. It was rare that I had anytime to myself, at work. Nights is where you really learned to do what you had to do, to keep 5-7 worn out POS gen sets running, and not letting the system go down. So when we had a little time to ourselves, I read a book, or took something apart. One for the brain, one for work. This is one of my happier times in my life.
