Thanks for posting this. I’m always fascinated by the oddball machinery and tools that are so often simply lost to time because they lose their context, and their materials are either precious enough to recycle, like cladding stones on pyramids, or are less permanent, wood, etc, that simply rots or burns up, and the knowledge that it ever existed goes with them.   

In this instance, it’s a wonder this contraption hasn’t been turned to kindling ages ago.
