Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This is an inverted bull clock, a modern piece of equipment in a brass and copper mill for drawing large diameter wire. As the wire leaves the machine, it is automatically coiled for easy handling. Most frequently it is redrawn to smaller diameters, though there are many uses for heavy wire, too.
