The Amp on the T-56 is mounted on the top of the engine and has the words "NO STEP" stamped on it. If you look up in the main wheel well of the Orion (inboard Engines). You can see this Amp facing down with the words "NO STEP" stamped on it. Kind of odd eh!!! Navy maintainers must walk in some odd places..
