I am quite familiar with this particular instrument. It is a Muti-prong Escolong Discriminator. These were quite common in the early 20’s. Using this instrument one can determine the HYdrocalifice resistance of a Dremelote valve(s). Once the value was determined, the meter, you would think, reads in volts. Wrong. It reads in Volorkians, an old Greek word meaning “to lork” or to Lorkeesus”. For example, 4 “lork” units equal 2.275 foot pounds of Kramelgas. (Hazardous)
These were found mostly in the tool boxes of Diotrious Engineers.

Tester for individual cells in vehicle batteries. The wavy piece between the 2 points is for resistance to check the cell under load.
