Still crazy after all these years!
The spindles are in gangs of four per side. I would guess it is a boring/honing operation.
What do you think, Doc?

They're nailheads, like zz said.
I agree, bob. I think the bores are being finished in two stages.

Fascinating machinery at work, also notable is the young guys working there, no hearing protection - no wonder all the old guys who held these jobs are wearing hearing aids now...

Hearing protection wasn't all that great back then, even if it was used. Just ask my ears. Ten years around jets in the late 60s and early 70s. Science and technology finally sorted out programmable hearing aids that work for me. [cl

Doc could there be little jumper wires across the tops of the plugs?

I think it's a newer picture of a "throw-back" type event. Maybe 2-hole valve covers on a "single" head? Would the single spark plug line up? Either way, good catch.
*Edit: it's also a 392, so, coil-on-plug with wires running to mock valve covers for nostalgic looks - ??
