Narrative:

Approaching atlanta area, #1 engine vibration monitor showed high readings. Followed flight manual procedures and shut down engine. Notified flight dispatcher and ATC. Made normal landing on runway 9L in atl without further difficulties. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter flies the L-1011 for a major united states air carrier. He does not know exactly why there was engine vibration, but he knows that metal was found in the oil. He believes that it may have been a bearing failure.
