    Some clues - It isn't automotive related, It is no longer used but was the height of technology when released. I was working on it in the 1980s but it was old technology and was completely obsolete by the early 1990s. It was seen in a major movie starring Robin Williams.

    Well done. Specifically a Teletype model 28. The example shown is the reperforator which punched the tape.

    We were still using these in the ADF until the early 90s. They were a mechanical marvel with hundreds of individual components working at the lightening speed of 100 wpm of Baudot 5 code transmitted over HF or telecom landline when they atmosphere wasn't happy.
