I was looking at a friend's father's RR collection, and this one has me 
stumped!  At first I thought it was a clock, but when I looked closer it 
is something different.  It's about a foot in diameter and has one hand 
or indicator of some sort, and all the little buttons around the 
circumference are labeled.  Some only say "Thru Pass" or "Track 1", but 
some are listed with what look like New Jersey locations- Montclair, 
Morristown, S. Orange, etc..  It has two terminals at the top with wires 
attached, but it isn't connected to anything.
This gentleman worked for the Erie for 45 years in the Inspection 
Department, and recently passed away at age 96.  The son knows little 
about the items in the collection, so I thought I'd turn to the experts 
here!  I'd appreciate any information (or educated guesses!) you might have.
Thanks!
