prityy obscure no model markings on the case. the rack its in has handles
for carying so it might of flown around in a plane as part of a kit for
doing geophysical not sure though

The OCO looks nice. Timing gear maybe?

Looks like a mid 70's - early 80's three-axis fluxgate magnetometer.
The precision of a fluxgate is a direct function of the stability of the
frequency source that is driving the drive winding, so an OCXO makes
perfect sense.
My offhand guess would be oil and gas exploration.

Medical use was much later.

There was a discussion of this on the cctalk discord
It was made for the USGS to study the earth's magnetic field

It says "fluxgate magnetometer" on the case so its for measuring the earths
magnetic field, or other magnetic fields.
