Narrative

The employee was helping to remove the 1935 drag chain. Not realizing the chain was caught on a piece of angle iron, the employee looked into the opening on the west end of the Polycom to see what the chain was catching on. As the employee did this he leaned his hand on the chain and it came loose, striking his right thumb.
