" well known ground handling company " and one of their handlers. Said handler, apart from knowing every defect and how to rectify it possible on an aircraft had a "distinctly low opinion " of engineers which he freely offered. One fine day, having given the handle a cursory tug, cometh the complaint it wasn't working, usual comments about engineers / ability followed. We proceed to the aircraft where my mate thoughtfully suggests he disconnects the cart hose, then look at the valve, give the handle a tug and see if there's any movement.....which he duly did.
The valve and the handle cable worked in perfect harmony.
