    Travelers Insurance Company, Appellant, v. Ward Bulldozer Service Company et al., Respondents.
   In an action by a compensation carrier as assignee of the injured person’s cause of action (Workmen’s Compensation Law, § 29, subd. 2), the appeal is from a judgment entered in favor of respondents upon a jury verdict. Judgment reversed and new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. The questions of fact have been considered and a new trial would not be granted on those questions. In our opinion, it was prejudicial error to exclude the proffered testimony of appellant’s expert concerning the customary use of a chain when moving logs with tractor-shovels (Garthe v. Ruppert, 264 N. Y. 290, 296; Regan v. Eight Twenty Fifth Corp., 287 N. Y. 179; Lerner v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 274 App. Div. 905; Rickerson v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 149 N. Y. 307, 316; Rosenstein v. McGutcheon, 155 App. Div. 278, 281). Nolan, P. J., Beldock, Murphy, Hallinan and Kleinfeld, JJ., concur.
