Signal amp
Bingo! Not wild guesses at all... It's a magnetic amplifier. The core is magnetised to half its saturation level by a winding carrying DC. The speed pot sends DC through another winding, the feedback circuit sends DC through a third with opposite polarity, so the steady flux level represents the difference between the two. The degree of saturation controls the power transfer from the AC energising circuit to the rectifier, which produces a DC output to excite the servo-generator, which in turn controls the main generator field and hence the output fed to the spindle motor. 7 hp of stabilised speed control without a thyristor or transistor in sight.

DW, ever come across Square D pneumatic timers? Depending how you put them together they were either delay on or delay off.
It sure is Marvo, called the 'Twinob' made by Lundberg/Lektrik. The outer dolly is a momentary spring-loaded type for starting and the inner one an ordinary tumbler switch for running. Got a little 5A version as well with bakelite dollies where one overlaps the other.
Dang, too many experts, puzzles solved too easily, must find odder things...

angles?...No, you can't measure anything with it, although this part is a kind of sensor that detects something changing.
View attachment 20004View attachment 20005 This is out of an old Russian lathe it has 4 contacts on it 2 x NC and 2 x NO it has a coil and on top it has a sealed oil filled reservoir.
What is its function!
Spoiler alert!!! Answer in post 9!!!
