Production. Aircraft engines.
That little instrument Verna Lampy is welding looks and sounds a lot like the drill your third bicuspid may be familiar with. It's used in a huge Midwest aircraft plant, however, to etch serial and inspection numbers on airplane motor parts, making a permanent record to facilitate assembly and production count.
