What is it? Is this for a Columbia phonograph?
Thanks! Cliff

I'm thinking maybe... Dictaphone?
From the top, it looks rather like the #15 "Extra Tension" reproducer; but the lever underneath baffles me.

Seems that by moving the lever forward the pressure on the stylus would decrease as it would lift the back up slightly and allow the stylus to float some. In the position it is in, it looks like it would put more pressure on the cylinder making it louder. Does moving the lever allow the stylus to move slightly away from the cylinder?

Dictaphone
The lever brings either the playback stylus or recording stylus into use.
