I believe she is working on the trigger fork of a howitzer's firing
lock.

No, I am mistaken.

One of the girls of Vilter [Manufacturing] Co. filing small gun parts,
Milwaukee, Wisc. One brother in Coast Guard, one going to Army.

War production worker at the Vilter Manufacturing Company making M5 and
M7 guns for the United States Army, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1943.

3 inch Gun M5 was an anti-tank gun

3-inch M7, which included minor modifications for mounting on the M6
heavy tank and M10 tank destroyer.

I think it is actually the sear from a firing lock.
