Hello JCC
   This is very interesting, I have read somewhere about these types of machines being designed in the early part of the 1900's, but I have been unable to locate very much information. Thank you for sharing.
All the Best
Tim R.

I found the patent for this thing : US1646611A dated 1926 (not WW1 as claimed then )
