trying to save herself she thrust her left
hand against the roller, and it also was
drawn between the revolving cylinder.
Her husband quickly tried to stop the
machine, but not until the engineer
turned off the power was he able to re-
lease his wife from her awful position.
The rollers are steam heated and set
close together for the ironing of all
kinds of large articles, such as table
cloths, sheets, towels, and things Of that
sort. The machine had to be run back
ward till the lady's hands were released
by the rollers before she could be taken
from the place.

that these plants are built so much
