Deceased had taken the place for two or three weeks of the regular screen engineman, who was ill. He oiled the machinery in connection with the screens and belts before work started, and on the day of the accident was directed as usual to attend to this by the enginewright at 5.45 a.m., and he was seen oiling some rollers about 6.30 a.m. About 6.50 a.m., when the screen engine had been running about 20 minutes, it stopped, and on an examination being made, it was found that deceased had been caught by bevel wheels placed above the floor line and below the level of the belts, and his body had stopped the engine. An oil can was found on the top of a journal in which one of the bevel wheels worked. The wheels were well fenced and oiling machinery in motion is forbidden. He may have left the oil can where it was found and gone back for it when he was caught. The Local Inspectors made no report on the case.
