Looks like a metal lathe; the cage device probably encloses the drive motor to keep fingers, arms, etc. from getting caught or being shocked.

This is a (near) duplicate of an existing photograph in the Harris & Ewing collection of The Library of Congress.

C. W. (Clarence Wirt) Hecox (1872-1951), an instructor in the machine shop at McKinley Training School, Washington, DC, supervising a student using a lathe in the manufacture of practice shells for the U.S. Navy. The basket weave dome is a venting cover for the lathe motor (in addition to the other safety features Bolobilly said).

As a bonus ;) it appears to me like the student in this photograph is also featured (2d from left) in another photograph
in the Keystone View Company collection of The Library of Congress.![[4-inch shells]](http://cdn.loc.gov/service/pnp/cph/3b30000/3b38000/3b38600/3b38600r.jpg)

Thanks Bill Forbes for identifying the machine. Also, thanks Pixel Wrangler for locating near duplicate image that has a good caption. We'll update this photo's catalog record with this information.
