Thumbnail for A worker being measured to see if he could reach into the rollers. A number of accidents had occurred and limbs had been crushed by people getting their arms caught in the rollers. By the time they reached up to press the turn off switch it was often too late. This method prevented people from being able to reach into the rollers. It was called the Lunn Sensitive Safety Bar and it stopped the machine if you leant against it. It was invented by R. Lunn.
