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
production situation, maybe a photo op of a nice looking female next to
a slotter.

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

Look at picture No. 3:

That's it, all right. Now, what was Rosie doing with the handwheels?

She's not indexing it; she isn't even looking at the indexing
handwheel. Is she eyeballing the rotary indexing and the X-Y
positioning? Unlikely, unless the bore of the gear has been marked out
on a surface plate and she's setting it up to cut to the mark.

But if she's doing that, how does she know that she's set up
perpendicular to the centerline?

Once again, it looks like a photo op.
Of course it's a photo op. Look at her shoes. Not really appropriate
for a machine shop.
