Thanks everyone for your replies!
I try to answer all your questions together and I am also attaching new images.

Yes, I confirm the Ferguson Patent writing on the label.
The complete writing is: Fanola, Simplicity Efficiency, Ferguson Patent
I also attach an image of the writing on the arm, which is very strange: NED OCTR AANGEVR.

I have also created a video for you. It has a soft sound with a slight hiss that is heard however mainly in the video and not live. It is indeed exciting to see the machine play the record!

"NED OCTR AANGEVR" is an abbreviation for "Nederlands octrooi aangevraagd" which translates as "Dutch patent pending"
