An Allen Syncrograph Model E135 automotive distributor testing machine in a shop, consisting of a red and black trunk-like base with wheels and aluminium (maybe) trim, a large red boxlike device with a light and a needle display atop of it, and atop of _that_ a tryptich of three large vertical panels connected together with deco metalwork, the outer pair being some sort of collection of printed data and the centre panel being large panel displays with physical needle indicators presumably showing... Centred above that is some sort of projecting bronze part, kind of T-shaped, but with bell-shaped cones on the end. What are they for? I've no idea. it is a device of great mystery.
