Likely way off topic, but I acquired some sort of frequency device in an
auction junk box. It's a well machined device made by MECOS, made in
W.Germant. It's about 2" square by 1/2" powered by a Li. battery and has
micro-switches labelled 3 hz, 7.8 hz, 14.0 hz and a small led that flashes at
the selected frequency. Anyone have any idea what it might be ?
A search turned up that MECOS makes Active Magnetic Bearings and
control boards and programs.

Could this be some sort of timing device used for calibrating the speed of
something? Is the led separate from the chassis?

No the LED is in the chassis. I started thinking it might be some sort of heart
device timer as the deceased former owner of the auctioned items was quite
elderly. I guess you could use it as a timer strobe.
