Details of Event
He was screwing down the lubricator of a bearing on a length of shaft on the screens, when probably his sleeve was caught by a projecting nut, and he was wrapped on the shaft. This accident shows the danger of working near shafting even when reasonably well fenced. All oiling of machinery should he dons wherever possible when it is standing.
