  Looks like a mimeograph machine. It's an old poorman's copier -- you ink a stencil sheet and run off duplicates of things like announcements or activity sheets. Big in the 60s and 70s, before photocopiers.

  Weren't they called gestetener machines?

  From the dictionary (mimeograph): A duplicator that makes copies of written, drawn, or typed material from a stencil that is fitted around an inked drum. Used one in fifth grade. Got ink everywhere, of course.

  There was one of these in the Lady Stirling unit of BroomHill hospital.

  Gestetener is a brand name just like Xerox. Gestetener still makes high-end copiers
