Who needs Fire Exits?
There IS a fire extinguisher in the room.
Brazil
This is the first of these shots to remind me of Terry Gilliam's movie "Brazil." Just needs to be a little less well lit, but the machines are as imposing.
Safety first, watch those fingers.
No guard covers on the motor belts.
Capacitated
Looks to me as though they're making capacitors - strips of metal foil separated by an insulating strip - all wound into a cylinder. Used for filtering they allow AC current to pass, but prevent the passage of DC current.

Electrolytic!
I always wondered how they made all those capacitors.
