In the Matter of the Claim of Simon Kaufman, Respondent, against Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corporation et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.

This is an appeal by an employer and its insurance carrier from an award of the Workmen’s Compensation Board in favor of claimant. Claimant was employed as a tool grinder. On January 30, 1945, while claimant was engaged in the regular course of his employment and while raising a fixture weighing 100 pounds, he felt a sharp pain in his left side and suffered from anginal syndrome and a temporary aggravation of a pre-existing heart condition, as a result of which he became partially disabled. The evidence sustains the finding of the board. Award affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. All concur. [See post, p. 979.]
