Dear Editor.
The T-53 ±ngine in the Huey is
protected from Freign object daMage
in ²ght by the inlet screen and particle
separator³ The danger is stIL pr´sent,
tho, when puµng Maintenance with
the engine inlet protection reMOved³
So¶ we Made up an inexpensive
pRotective cover that can easily be
Made in any sheet Metal s·op Fr use
in the field³ The f¸lt insulating Material
shown May be oMitted³ ¹oaM rubber
with an adhesive backing can alsO be
used in place Of the felt and rivets³
The beauty about this coVer is that
it's Made in
2
pieces³ Just reMove the
upper part of the particle separator Fr
short shaft Maintenance, for exaMple,
and add one half of the cover³ Then
reMove
the bottoM half of the
separator and add the other half of the
coVer beFre reMoVing the shaft³
With both halves buckled together
safety wire, nuts, boltº, pencils, pens,
eyegla»se» and dirt can¼t enter the
inlet ³³³ saves engines³
