1899 'BURSTING OF A FLY-WHEEL. On Monday afternoon a fly-wheel, 20ft. in diameter, at Bury and Co.'s Steel-rolling Mills, Sheffield, burst, doing great damage. Half the roof of the large mill was torn away, and all the driving machinery completely wrecked. Huge pieces of the wheel flew in all directions, and two workshops of other firms, one 200 yards away, were much damaged. No one was injured, but many men standing near had marvellous escapes. The damage must amount to thousands of pounds, and it will be two or three months before the mill can be worked again.' [2]
