What is she doing?
So I need some help here. DDIL sent me this picture of a relative of a friend of hers from way back when, probably late 40's or early 50's. We are trying to identify what this machine is that she is cranking, and why she is doing it in a suit. Anyone have any ideas????

Man it seems like I have seen this machine before but can't remember what it was - will put on my thinking cap
|
It looks like mail boxes in the background doesn't it? I have no idea.
|
Is she cranking open the wall panel behind her? We used to have files in the hospital that we had to hand crank to get them moving.

I can tell you that she was dressed that way because she was at work. Women wore dresses/suits to work and often hats and gloves also. It looks like 1930-40's to me.

I thought maybe it was a meat grinder, but don't remember anything like that in any kitchen I ever went in. |
Air raid siren? To let people know the postal rates are going up.

May be an earlier computer.
