Photographed on 10 April in the Stockholm Museum of Science and Technology. I am afraid I didn't have time to read the caption in front of this machine - it was almost closing time for the Museum when I arrived there!
However there are plenty of experts on hand on this web site - over to you, ladies and gentlemen!
