After serving in World War II, Lewis played basketball for the University of Houston until his graduation in 1947. He became an assistant coach there in 1953, and head coach in 1956. As a coach, he was known for championing the once-outlawed dunk, which he characterized as a "high percentage shot", and for clutching a brightly colored red-and-white polka dot towel on the bench during games. Lewis was a major force in the racial integration of college athletics in the South during the 1960s, being one of the first major college coaches in the region to actively recruit African-American athletes. In 1964, his recruitment of the program's first African-American players, Elvin Hayes and Don Chaney, ushered in an era of tremendous success in Cougar basketball. The dominant play of Hayes led the Cougars to two Final Fours and sent shock waves through Southern colleges that realized that they would have to begin recruiting black players if they wanted to compete with integrated teams.
A lewis (sometimes called a lewisson) is one of a category of lifting devices used by stonemasons to lift large stones into place with a crane, chain block, or winch. It is inserted into a specially prepared hole, or seating, in the top of a stone, directly above its centre of mass. It works by applying principles of the lever and utilises the weight of the stone to act on the long lever-arms which in turn results in a very high reaction force and friction where the short lever-arms make contact with the stone inside the hole and thereby prevents slipping.
Etymology
The name lewis may come from the Latinlevo -avi, -atum meaning to levitate or lift, but the Oxford English Dictionary Online states, "the formation and the phonology are not easily explained on this hypothesis", preferring "origin obscure", and speculating that the term may derive from a personal name. The Romans used the lewis. The specially shaped hole that is shaped to fit the device is known as a lewis hole. Lewis holes in the uppermost masonry coursings are neatly repaired with matching indented plugs after the stone has been set in place.
In this video, the viewer learns how stones are lifted on to buildings by the use of a simple tool known as Lewis pins.

Three Pin Lewis Demonstration
A three pin lewis, also known as a dovetailed lewis, St Peter's keys, or a Wilson bolt fits into a dovetailed seating in the top of a building stone. It is made from three pieces of rectangular-section steel held together with a shackle, allowing connection to a lifting hook. The middle leg is square throughout its length, while the outer legs are thinner at the top, flaring towards the bottom. Held together, the three legs thus form a dovetail shape.
They are now illegal in the UK but were still in use when I started my career.

Lewis pins = back saver 💪#bricklayerssocialclub
Using Lewis pins on some Portland stone,
These Lewis pins were suitable to lift 500kg and the stone weight was 220kg so was more than sufficient.
When using Lewis pins ensure you drill a deep enough hole to accommodate the pin clean the hole out and be careful not to jolt or remove any of the pressure on the pins.
As always make sure you and anyone else working around you is not underneath.
