Thanks Anna Maria

14 mins confidence:

tower 1 or 2, bench 1 or 2

Explanation:
Tour could be the set-up (manip in French) which is why I asked you for more data.
It could also be shift as you mentioned.
A "tower" can be used to manufacture some drugs... or for distillation... In that case it would be bench 1 or 2...

Since, you both agree, it can mean shift, I'll go for that because of the context. The point go to Anna Maria however. Many thanks for you help.
