## Narrative

EE was overhauling Mill #5.  EEs were adjusting the flanged ring that sits on top of high side by hand to line up bolt holes when the flanged ring slipped off of high side crushing EE's left index & middle fingers.  The end of the left index finger had to be amputated by doctors from 1st finger knuckle to the end (approximately 1"").
