## Narrative

Two workers were installing the drive belts on an Elliott Pulverizer Mill. One was guiding the belts onto the sheave while the other worker turned the rotor by hand. The worker turning the rotor by hand turned his head to speak to the other worker. During this moment of inattention his right index fingertip was caught between the blades of the rotor and the machine housing.
