Narrative

A new rope had been installed on the North side of the #2 hoist. The hoistman was stretching out the rope after the installation. The conveyance was accidently set down on the bulkhead below the 5100 level causing a slack rope situation. No one was on the conveyance at the time. Several kinks were observed in the rope. The conveyance was brought to the surface.
