Original Abstract Submitted

A serrated fitting and method for installing fixed length roller tray segments spanning an aircraft fuselage integration zone. The serrated fitting includes a first surface for attachment to a fixed length roller tray segment. The serrated fitting also includes a serrated surface for engagement with a serrated plate attached to a floor beam of an aircraft. A fastener connects the serrated surface to the serrated plate and the floor beam through a pre-drilled hole in the floor beam. The pre-drilled hole is larger than the diameter of the fastener to accommodate accumulated tolerance between joined fuselage sections at a fuselage integration zone.
