  This appears to be the monorail track for the Pearlridge, Oahu, Hawaii system. I can't tell if they're assembling track for the permanent site or if they're assembling a test track for use at the Rohr factory.
  
  It looks like there's a jig for initial assembly if the monorail at left. Something happens to align all the parts and lock them in place. There's a bridge crane above the welder's head. I guess the track section gets moved moved to where you see it and the welding is completed.
  
  Other photos suggest the cars roll over the three horizontal surfaces on rubber-tired 'trucks.' Corrections welcomed.
