Intiguing, but what is it? it looks more optical/ electrical than percussive, like something someone dreamt up for a sci fi film
the two at the back their faces look vaguely familiar, Actors?

I took this at the local antique store. I love the graphics on these old cans!

OK, I know that this turntable is designed to change the vehicle direction. But, at the risk of sounding stupid, why? Can't the truck change direction by itself or are there space constrictions?

Looks like a concrete carrier and the road appears to have a form down the right side of the picture. Maybe to narrow if the other side is formed.  Most likely the driver will back material to destination from this point.

Philip..... and a wild guess

The guys pushing the turntable are ankle-deep in mud, so perhaps it's easier to turn the truck on the table, without risk of it getting stuck?

This is interesting... Not much info about it other than it's Russian, with an engine from a car, and the photo was taken sometime in the 1960's...

Another little Russian creation, of more recent vintage. Apparently the equivalent of an "estate" railroad...
