Narrative

An employee was changing out a paper roll set on a winder. The core chucks were being retracted, and he was clearing a piece of paper from them when the tip of his left index finger was caught in the wedge hole. As the chuck retracted into the outer cylinder, about a centimeter of the fingertip was sheared off.
