A compressor section or a turbine section of a gas turbine engine having an axis includes a drum. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a plurality of bores extending radially inward from the drum including a first bore and a second bore. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a first bore basket at least partially defining a first cavity such that the first bore has at least one surface located in the first cavity. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a second bore basket at least partially defining a second cavity that is isolated from the first cavity such that the second bore has at least one surface located in the second cavity.

Double bore basket

A bore basket assembly for a gas turbine engine. The assembly includes an outer cylindrical member. The assembly also includes an inner cylindrical member at least partially surrounded by the outer cylindrical member to define an annulus therebetween, one of the cylindrical members operatively coupled to an aft rotor stage, the other of the cylindrical members operatively coupled to a forward rotor stage, the cylindrical members moveable in an axially telescoping manner relative to each other.
