Jackson, Ga., Jan. 27, 1915.
Messrs. Larned, Carter & Cos.,
Detroit Mich.
Gentlemen:
I am enclosing herewith a cold roll steel pulley
key that I had driven in a key-way on a shaft to hold
a large gear in position.
After completing the job and putting the machine
in motion an accident happened. I had left a portion
of the key extending beyond the end of the shaft. I
was wearing a pair of HEADLIGHT overalls and by
accident the key caught the overalls of my left leg
below the knee. The enclosed key will show you
what happened. The shaft running at a rapid rate of
speed twisted the key in the oscilating shape that it is
now in, tearing the cloth of my overalls and twilling
them into a knot. The goods did not rip at all and
the key will give you an idea of the strength of the
goods. Glad to say I escaped unhurt. Noting the
strength and durability of your HEADLIGHT overalls,
I could not refrain from writing and sending you the
steel key.
Yours very truly,
E. A. TILLERY.
