Inventor Lilly's safety device guards mining engines
The article describes Lillys safety controller for mining engines, a device that monitors speed and overshoot, engages pawls and notches to slow the wheel, and signals engineers before top and bottom landings. Lilly, a renowned penman and engineer, developed the device after working across multiple mines and aims to mass produce them at about one dollar each. It also notes his career, mining experience, and upcoming church service by Rev Cornettussen for the Norwegian congregation in Butte.
