As he reached through a series of rotating belts to remove a paper core in the calendar rolls of the machine, the sleeve of his jacket was pulled into the belt.

Employee #1 was freed from the machine rolls and taken to a nearby medical facility, where he was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
