Abstract

Description

The Heavy Machine Shop houses tools such as lathes, drill presses, and others that were used to make parts for new inventions and machines. They were not used to mass produce parts for finished products�this was done in the manufacturing facilities that surrounded the Laboratory Complex. They did, however, make the machines that made the finished products at the factories, as well as replacement parts for machines that broke.
