5 Inventors who were Killed by Their Inventions
By siliconindia
William Bullock
William Bullock was accidentally killed by his own web rotary press. Bullock invented the web rotary printing press in 1863, which allowed continuous rolls of paper to be automatically fed through the rollers. This design reduced the manual work to feed the sheets by hand.
The press was self-adjusting, printed on both sides, folded the paper and cut the sheets with precision. This increased the speed of the press to 12,000 sheets an hour.
In 1867, Bullock was making adjustments to one of the new presses, and tried to kick a driving belt onto the pulley, which led his leg to get caught in the machine, leading to his untimely death.
