    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. Hecox]
    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).
    – excerpted from original caption, with information added. [1] [2]


    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] "Doing their bit - students of McKinley Manual Training High School, Washington, D.C., with 4-inch shells they have made."
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    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.
