In the second excerpt, Thomas Roebuck mentions “grinders’ complaint” as a health problem common to those in his occupation. What type of illness do you think this might have been? How do you know? What could have been some of the contributing occupational factors in this illness?

Fork grinder at Askham’s wheel. Began fork grinding when I was 10 years

old, and have been at it for 28 years. . . . I know one that began at 8 years

old. He was quite fresh up to 17 and died at 19. His lungs were completely

gone with the grinders’ complaint.
