Revolving head for a multi-spindle screw machine. Basically a 5-spindle lathe.

I think if you're going to post a photo like that, you have to tell us what the hell the item is.

It's obviously a mechanism for a mechanical pencil that has 5 different colored "leads".

Looks a lot to me like the bolt mechanism on a 5-barreled gatling gun.

what are you guys SMOKING?
that is for STARTING 4-STROKE BIG BORE DIRTY BIKES! just plug it in to stator side,push button and VA-ROOM! beats the HELL OUT OF KICKING THOSE BASTIDS OVER COLD! (1) teensie problemo. once ya get it started you never let engine die on you or you strap that on yer bars and lug it around for when ya wanna stop for a beer or take a pee. and ya got to restart the damn thangs. also used on BMW's paris to dakar bikes. they never turn them off without that with them. just ask rick lee when the magic button doesnt work.

I understand the need to have a mop integrated into an axe but why the radio?

The radio I can understand. I don’t think it would last long with the axe cutting fire wood.

Earlier models had metronomes which tended to fail at the first blow. Later atempts using vacuum tube radios always failed on the first blow. It wasn't until the advent of the relatively shock resistant transistor that the long sought after dream of musically enhanced chopping/mopping efficiency was finally realized. You understand the need for a mop? Edit: Oh, yeah (just read a few posts that cleared that up for me).
