Hi Dave,

  That was the only two words that described it on the Wardenclyffe Project
Archive web page.
Terry thinks its a radio tuning device*.  I'm building a coil with dual
primaries that are
adjustable like this device. That's why I'm so curious about it.

*I was thinking it was for tuning to reduce static in AM radio. - Terry
