I do love shots of machinery. I guess this isn't the inner workings of the condom factory. Or maybe it is? What's with the nude in the background upper right in the last picture? That might be related to the condom factory. The light looks like it was a challenge for exposures. Good job.

Thanks mbragger. I think they are condom machinery, see picture. The lighting wasn't as challenging as you would think. They did not require HDR and I only did minor exposure adjustments in Lightroom.

It scares that you people can look at old machinery and know it was used to make condoms!!

interesting series - not sure how this machinery made condoms, appears to be various flywheels and drive pulleys to run other machinery. Would have expected to see tanks/vats for latex and some form of dip moulds.

Don't forget that theses are probably not in their original location. In the last picture, they would put the condom on the nipple at the top and air gets pumped into it to stretch it.
