My opinion is that it is a slotter and the machine is set up for
making a gear. as there ar no chips around, it does not depict a

a slotter.


and here it is, a Pratt and Whitney vertical slotter that looks very
similar to Rosie's machine.

Yeah, that picture sure looks right. There are two different machines
in that set of pictures. About half the images are the model that look
like Rosie's and the others don't...
