Examples of shafting

• As these specialised machines were normally both stationary and operated inside buildings, prime movers could supply power via shafting or belts.

• In general, components such as shafting, pulleys, flywheels or belts which might cause injury must be guarded.

• I remember, a lad of only 16, going round a shafting.

• Shafting has been put up about half a dozen times and taken down.

• Should not the shafting have been properly fenced in before the accident and not after?

• There is little doubt that it was largely as a result of this action that the number of accidents due to unfenced shafting was reduced.

• There were cases in which the particular shafting was quite safe, until any employé was injured thereby.

• Among the things which are frequently responsible for accidents are power takeoff shafts, chain, belt and gear drives, belts and pulleys, shafting, circular saws, stationary engines and electrical equipment.

• Shafting, pulleys, belts, flywheels and similar machinery will have to have guards of adequate strength unless these components are safely positioned out of the way of workers.

• I understand that the victim of this accident had climbed up to some unfenced overhead shafting in order to mount a belt, and got carried round the shaft.

• Under this system, you save the weight of the propeller and the shafting and so on, but you have to carry a large amount of additional fuel.

• In the same way the standing machinery, all the shafting and all the main structural fixtures of the manufactory will be part of the rateable value.

• For example, there will be an independent majority, but a publicly-owned minority, in the following products: bright steel bars, steel shaftings, steel forgings, wire, wrought iron, and iron castings.

• In the 19th century, the flywheels were powered by leather drive belts attached to line shafting, which in turn ran to a steam plant.

• The shafting for the machinery was under the floor, as was a tramway for trucks to remove the cutting waste.
