difficile sans contexte

Explanation:
Je vois 3 possibilités, mais sans grand lien avec l'automobile :

1 - machine à dessiner (il y des compétitions pour concevoir des machines à dessiner avec du Lego, par ex.). Je n'y vois pas l'utilité - sauf à des fins ludiques - puisque l'ordinateur permet de tout faire dans la conception industrielle.

2) - machine/appareil de tirage de loterie (comme pour notre Loto national)

3) - machine à tréfiler/tréfileuse (pour créer des fils de fer, par ex.).
