Narrative

While manufacturing a shaft pin on a metal lathe, an employee in the Bldg. #304 Machine Shop was sanding the rotating pin with an emery cloth. The cloth bound and pulled the employee into the rotating lathe machine, resulting in a left broken hand and lacerations on the right hand that required surgery and in-patient hospitalization.
