More pictures would be helpful? It looks like a lathe attachment But can't quite see the rest of it to see what it might be used for other than it looks like it has at least one pulley. Then the three things that are hidden in the slots those it be interesting to see.

That’s all I got, but think it is a pivot polisher.

John, I too thought it looked like an attachment for a lathe.  

It could possibly be a powered milling/drilling unit for machining watch plates that are held on a face plate in a lockable/ indexable  headstock.

I'm attaching an image I'm guessing that the shaft with the pulley on the end goes into the hole of the main unit. I got the idea for this from the catalog found at the link below. You can download a nice PDF a little light reading. Unfortunately I did not see the same tool in the catalog.

Then in one of the other books I have that lists tools it does resemble a pivot polisher. But the strange part is currently it has a centering piece in their which doesn't quite seem right for pivot polisher? Centering piece would be more for drilling holes except with all the adjustments this is way too fancy for drilling holes.

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
