APPENDIX B. - Continued
Unit 5 was removed from service on 24th of the month. The rotor was pulled
and cleaning is commencing. A small section of the stator winding is being
coated with new insulating varnish to see if we can control the amount of
oil oozing from the coils. If the test is successful, we will coat the
entire winding during the next maintenance period. The upper guide bearing
was removed and large new cracks were observed in the babbitt. The spare
bearing was removed from storage, and is being sent to a machine shop for
boring and cutting oil grooves into the babbitt.
