    This is a structural test for the item marked, "part being tested," in the photo. They're applying pressure and measuring how much it deforms. So far as I can tell, they adjust the hardware to apply a side load and measure movement. There are load cells to measure how much force is applied to each of the three connections. The gauges mark displacement. (See notes on image.)

    Guess: the axis suggest it could be a landing gear part or an engine pylon part?

    Are you familiar with the saying, "the aircraft doesn't take off before the weight of the paperwork exceeds the weight of the aircraft?" For BART cars or engine nacelles there would likely be binders of paper logs where employees verified that every bolt had been tightened and every connector had been fully mated. You can look up what company made bolts that hold a wing on an aircraft or who tightened them. Nowadays it's probably all in a database.
