Rosie the riveter's lathe?

[marcid...@gmail.com]

Hi Folks,

What is this machine?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/naomi-parker-fraley-wartime-machinist-linked-to-rosie-the-riveter-dies-at-96/2018/01/23/10335d0e-004e-11e8-8acf-ad2991367d9d_story.html?utm_term=.bb8abd1abc2c

The Washington Post article from which is comes refers to it as a turret lathe (2/3 the way down the article, and just a "lathe" elsewhere) in this obituary on "Rosie the Rivetter". But it looks more like a milling machine with a rotary table than a turret lathe. Is it a gear broach?

Anybody recognize it?

Speaking of Rosie, my pecker is getting quite rosie red from all the
blowjobs Ed Huntress the Cunt in a Dress is giving out over in
alt.survival.

I don't think it's a lathe of any kind. It looks like a
special-purpose bed-type milling machine, built to handle that big
rotary table. The drive shaft suggests that it's a production machine,
but it looks like she's locating the setup with the handwheels -- for
an operation that could have no possible relation to the powered
shaft. Here's a sharper version of that photo:

https://tinyurl.com/y9wycx3u

I question whether the photo is of a real operation, or whether it was
cooked up for the photo. The reason I say that is that there's a gear
fixtured on top, and a toolholder that looks like it could be for a
shaping operation. But the toolholder doesn't look like it's holding a
shaping tool. And there's no way, in wartime production or any kind of
production, that you would cut a gear like that with a single-point
cutting tool making straight cuts. Even if you did, one of the
handwheels would have a big and obvious index-pin dial on it.

The whole setup is screwy. The lathe chuck on top, on top of all of
that fixturing, looks like a kludge. There is no way you'd use a chuck
that way for gear work. And if the suggestion is that she's indicating
or gaging <spelling intentional> a gear tooth, there is no apparent
way to accomplish the measuring. And that is no freaking measuring
machine.

I'd give it four Pinocchios. d8-)

Aw look everyone, Ed Huntress the Cuntdress from New Jersey found his
way to our newsgroup to troll for gay sex again.

Go back to rec.crafts.metalworking you cunt in a dress. There no
children here for you to molest you gay pedophile in a dress.

It looks to me like a lash-up to broach an oddball keyway or splines,
unless somone just placed the gear atop the jaws for appearance. I
suspect it was chosen for the photo to show her face next to something
complex and exotic-looking that wasn't in use, covered with oily chips
and spewing them toward the camera.

First, that Tiny URL I posted above doesn't seem to work. That's the
first time that's ever happened for me. Tiny URL seems to have a
problem with the full URL. Here's the full one:

It's physically possible that it's set up to cut a keyway, but I still
don't believe the setup. It's an awful kludge. And if it's intended to
cut splines, how is she indexing it? Finally, if that's figured out, I
hope she's not in a hurry -- it's not like there was a war going on or
something. <g>

That was just a reply to something that came from whatever group
you're posting from. Did you also post this message to the poster who
included your group in the list? No? And why not?

Pay attention to the headers. I didn't post the spam.

I think it is a shaper. The tool looks MUCH like a shaper tool, and seems
like it might be held in a clapper box, although it looks kind of different
from what I'm used to seeing. If the setup is the way it was used, and not
just something thrown together for the photo, then she would be cutting a
groove in the FACE of the gear.

No, I am only subscribed to a.s. While I have been guilty in the past
of not stripping the multitude of news groups where the assholes live,
you might say I gave that up for Lent. With the exception of this post,
I'm going with a.s alone.

I didn't find an exact match, but what's called a "slotting machine"
seems to be close. Here are a few examples:

Thanks Terry. To be fair to Robert (and something you two wouldn't
know unless you were reading both NGs), it was Red Prepper who piled
on the list of NGs and interjected slurs into the RCM thread, and I
replied to him by stripping out RCM and replacing it with
alt.survival.

It's not the kind of thing Iwould ordinarily do, but Red (aka "Red
Pecker") is trying to bugger up RCM in an attempt to get you guys to
killfile me. I just tossed my reply back to him in A.S.

He is a really vicious lowlife who lives on homoerotic slurs and
slander, and he'll walk all over you if you let him.

You''ll miss 95% of this crap if you killfile him or ignore him.

I thought so too, but searching for images of slotters quickly
consumed my meager daily ration of 3G wireless 'broadband' and dialup

The clapper box looks like a shaper's. The knee appears to rest on the
floor, though.

I have to agree that the photo doesn't quite make sense from the
available information.

It looks more like a vertical shaper to me, set up for gear ID
slotting. (not that I'd know anything about either, yet. ;)

There were vertical turret lathes: https://is.gd/dIctwu
And there were vertical shapers: https://is.gd/mYNUkg
Which look pretty similar at a glance.

He's a cunt in a dress.The only reason he's here is because you
welcomed him. Maybe you thought there would be good discussion but
even you have asked him to leave.

He's been reduced to troll status quite quickly, another troll that
originated from RCM.

He actually thinks if he posts the one magic link he will suddenly be
liked here, even though we would all be fighting each other to be
first to take a shot at him in the dunk tank. To put it mildly.

He's a cross-dressing, crossposting troll who wants to get the final
jab in before going back to RCM and salvaging whatever friendships he
had there.

Not going to happen. He won't get the last word and I'll hound him
for 30 days after he last appears here in a.s. Each reappearance
will reset the clock.

That's for starters. Fuck his crusty cunt. He doesn't know who he's
dealing with. Fuck a.s. too. If it burns then it's your fault for
leading him on for as long as you did.

He can't. He's a cunt in a dress.

Hey you stupid cunt dress. Why don't you just go stay at alt.survival with
your pecker boyfriend? His big red pecker seems to satisfy your needs, what
do you keep running back here for?

Why don't you stop acting like a petulant child with your drive by insults
and just ask that pecker fellow to ram it up your ass really good, till you
scream for your daddy to come save you?

He seems willing, and we won't miss you. Go now cunt in red dress, hurry.
Dont look back. We'll send for you if we need you.

[Ignoramus19723]

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.

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...

[Leon Fisk]

I'm no help with that one. I only know it from texts too.

Metal working stuff is my hobby line. I was an electricians apprentice
for several years while studying radio electronics. Worked as a two-way
radio, printer and terminal tech for most of my career. We probably
know a lot of the same jargon in those areas :)

Images 3, 5, and 7 are for a different machine than the rest. These
show 3 controls on the front while all the rest have only one.
I think you nailed it, though.

Is "slotter" one brand's name for "shaper"?


BTW, when did you start top-posting? I noticed it yesterday.

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.

Congratulations for finding it. The only real difference I see is that
on hers the indexer is bolted on instead of integral. The fittings I
took to be clapper box hinges are apparently setscrews that
rotationally position the tool holder.

Of course it's a photo op(portunity), there aren't any chips and she
isn't wearing safety glasses. Her hands are on two handles to support
herself leaning forward. Why would you expect 'cinema verite' in a
busy factory?

The P&W slotter may have been the only machine available that allowed
the bulky tripod-mounted view camera to catch the operator's face
while they pretend to work. I've done enough industrial photography to
know how difficult that can be.

I suspect there were many bracketing shots to obtain a proper exposure
of her skin without excessive glare off the bare metal. There is
contrast and texture fairly deep into the shadows without much
overexposure of the highlights.

-jsw

[Ed Huntress]

Well, not to argue, but to add some clarification: If she's setting up
a keyway-cutting job, you won't see any chips. And if she's adjusting
X-Y position to cut from or to a scribed line, her hands would be on
two handwheels. That still doesn't explain what's going on, even if
it's correct. There are other things that don't look right.

As for the photos, having taken photos of machine operations for 40
years, including for over 500 articles and dozens of magazine covers,
I'm just used to making sure it's real. Of course my readers, who were
real industry people, would know the difference and would raise hell
if I faked it. <g>

I assume the photo was shot as part of a general war-promotion story,
and photo composition probably was more important that photo veracity.

Aw, your daddy is mostly harmless. He just likes a big red throbbing

It was a mix of unrelated pictures, it seems, only this picture is the
correct one:

Rosie the Riveter was part of a government program to encourage women
to work in industry to replace the men who were in the army. The most
commonly known version of Rosie is probably the 29 May 1943 Saturday
Evening Post front page, painted by Norman Rockwell showing a woman
with a rivet gun sitting in front of the U.S. Flag background.

That wouldn't necessarily be a problem. I've had long fingernails my
whole life. I use them as tools. They make great scrapers for removing
gunk and are essential for the fine manipulation of small parts. I
don't break them all that often. Usually when they break it has nothing
to do with abusing them while working. However roofing, especially
laying shingles will abrade them down to nothing. They were sorely
missed after my re-roofing job...

Of course it's a photo op. Look at her shoes. Not really appropriate
for a machine shop.
