On the side you can't see there is the crucible. Lead ingots were tied and lowered into the melting pot as the machine produced lines of type. When you turned it off the lead in the crucible solidified again and the partially lowered ingot would be a solid part of this, sticking vertically up out of the crucible.
So from a scrap metal point of view, if you find one of these machine, there are bound to be some lead ingots nearby!
