Advertising Turret Lathes
A view of the Warner & Swasey building circa 1941 from the west shows the company's rooftop scaffold sign advertising not only the company's name but also its primary manufactured product. A turret lathe is a machine that repetitively produces metal parts in multiple cutting operations that do not need to be interrupted for the purpose of performing intermediary setup tasks.
