Narrative

EE was checking the 903 belt as it was off track & having problems with the north tail pulley bearing. When he put his hand to the bottom of the guard to feel for heat, the next thing he knew something grabbed his finger. The EE thinks the zero speed paddle caught his fingerr & pinched it against the guard, causing a laceration to the middle finger of his right hand.
