Subject:    10CFR21 Notification

This formal notification concerns the potential spring problem with

This notification was generated by an isolated warranty repair request. 
During the evaluation process it was determined the failure was due to a

broken spring.  The actuators were shipped in 1990 and have been in
service for two (2) years, stroking every five (5) minutes continuously
for twenty-four (24) hours a day in a hydrogen fed service, in a high
cycle commercial application.

The following customers have been notified by Federal Express this date.

The spring supplier was removed from the Bettis Approved Vendor List in
1992.  Inventory has been purged, to verify that all springs (P/N 013752)
from Coiling Technology have been removed.  Customers are requested to
contact Bettis for additional information or concerning the spring
replacement.
