I might be thrown off by the paper and scribe looking thing.
If it has wires it might be a switch of some description. maybe loke a rotary switch, by the looks of the shaft running thru it?
I don't know. I'm just guessing now!

It's from the steam era, and is still in use today, mainly in metropolitan areas of Sydney and Melbourne.
Is it an inline lubricator?
OK...
Steam era- for some reason I'm thinking of the wild west.
Like a rotary switch. If its early, then its electromechanical, relay.
Lots of wires (they don't look like pressure tubes, more like cables with lugs)
Still used today- this has me stumped.
Maybe a signal relay for telegraph repeater station? Not sure if still used in metro areas though!
Very, very close! Think transport.Quote:
