Details of Event
Deceased who had charge of a large washery, was on the third floor about two hours after slanting time. A new bearing had been put in at a gear wheel during the previous night, and he wished to find out whether it was heating. He got on to the top of a washery tank, and from there he stepped on to two shutes, and, by reaching up, got his arm past the smaller wheel. His sleeve caught, and he had his arm crushed. He died from his injuries six days later.
