Here is a description of the Building of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland from 1937.
I see the booklet fails to mention the turret mounted machine guns hidden in the bases of the statues on E. 6th St. I had heard of these a couple times in conversation over the years and learned the guns themselves were no longer there. More recently the bases were redone and the turrets were removed.

Flickr lets you increase the image size slightly online but downloading the 'original size' allows you to see it much larger.
Here's a small version just so there's a copy here on antique-locks:

There is a worker in the lower-left corner. This plus some of the clutter makes me think this was taken during installation.
In this video they describe the Cleveland Federal Reserve bank vault tools - "Because of its massive size they also needed some large wrenches to work on the vault which are on display in the box next to the vault door." Besides the large wrenches (that are the length of the box) and what appear to be large sockets and a lug wrench, what other vault door tools are there?
