Enter AMBEROLA PHONOGRAPH? as a search in UK ebay and this is what you will see. Someone here will know the answer.

Looks like some sort of electric cylinder player. Interesting...

Gauging by the use of electric contacts on what looks like a flywheel, and the odd carriage.........one would think electric phonograph! BUT, if you look at the "mandrel" there seems to be a holder on there of some sort....maybe for paper. This could be a data recorder.....akin to a seismograph, with an ink stylus?

Very cool, though.
