I’m guessing cabinets with drawers. Maybe library card index files.
And lots of dust and shavings.

Re: what are they building here
what about the identical boxes on the tables to the left? It looks like they have insets for parts. Boxes for microscope sets?

Which one, they had several. Found it
I always think photographs which capture people going about their daily work are particularly special so I also thought it would be nice to share this view of the sawmills at the Scotswood Works.
Workers in the sawmills at the Scotswood Works (TWAM ref. 5484)
The sawmill was spread over three floors and included “a complete plant for the manufacture of Artillery wheels, consisting of spoke copying machines, spoke lathes, wheel lathes, one machine for felloe bending and a hydraulic tyring press for tyring wheels cold. The second floor contains small machinery, joiners’ benches, saddlers’ shop and a painting and varnishing shop”.
It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Having built and repaired such wheels by hand it seems a much easier way to go.

Don't look much like wheels to me.
Could they be racks and drawers for equipment for repairing and overhauling ordnance in the field?
I have seen a few pics of horse drawn mobile workshops, and even carrier pigeon lofts. Rustons of Lincoln built quite a few of the latter..

Re: what are they building here
They look a lot like the ancient sorting cabinets we sorted mail into at the old post office. Two for town and three for the out of town runs. Letters sorted into pigeon holes then stacked and bundled in the correct order for delivery. I'm looking at the one in the centre of the photo- appears to have smaller compartments.
