Details of Event
Preparations were being made for changing two wire rope guides in, No.2 shaft and in order to get the weights in the sump the water in it was being pumped out. A small pump driven by compressed air was placed on two 11-inch planks, which in turn were resting on the buntons or bearers without being fixed in any way.
