Sea story time!
My parent prucahsed a HO model train set for me and my brother. We were un supervised when our experiments wiht the toy transform had looking back at the outlet that provided power. My brother put a nail in the two slots for the blade of teh plug and then dropped another nail across thoes two. The small explosion threw him across the room and a new rul was establsihed.
If you can't do it with a D-Cell battery, you are not going to do it.
I had to wait until I joined the Navy before I allowed to work with anyhting that was plugged in.

Here is another item I found in my travels and I am pretty sure I can ID what it is.
A pneumatic actuated diaphram on the right hand side acts on the bar lever that in turn acts on the back disk which can rotate CW or CCW.. A counter weight mounted on an adjustment screw allows the balance to be adjusted (adjustment screw is not visable in this photo)
To operate correctly it had to be mounted on a wall or a panel inside a cabinet.
I found it in my Wife's Uncles shop. He was an electrical/control engineer.
Last hint for now.
It ws capable of the early versions of DSC were not able to do.

Looks like mercury switches, all at a slightly different angle (to be calibrated). Maybe a pressure or vacuum regulator? (e.g. turn compressor on/off, depending on reading)
