View of a gimbal bearing lock.

Picture 2 of 2.

Four of these locks, arranged around the periphery of the gimbal bearing, immobilized the gimbal bearing during shipment, handling, and storage of the engine.

Although the ID plate is too curved to read any single plate, by piecing together the visible text on multiple gimbal bearing locks, the ID plate appears to read
