Gearbox again

Hi SASless you are quite correct. although the chip detectors/mag plugs collect any ferrous material floating about in the oil. You may recall that a couple of years ago I found an entire gear tooth from a combining gear box in Port Harcourt that showed up only as an intermittent flash on the chip detector warning light.
