That would be a tire molding machine. It's used during the curing process. Bascially, they take the unformed tire and place it in the bottom portion of the mold. Next, an air bladder is placed inside the uncured, or green as it's called, tire. Then the top of the mold is set in place and the large cover door is closed. The air bladder that was placed inside is then filled with air forcing the uncured into the mold faces, thus giving it a tread pattern and any lettering that may be on the tire. This process would take about 15 minutes. This is a relatively old process as many tire now are injection molded.
