One more what is this?
I rescued this hand crank this morning and it looks like a giant bobbin winder. Does anyone know what it is? Does anyone know what this is used for?

Ken,
I'm wondering if this isn't a crank, used for editing film. Editors would have film reels on either side, with a film viewer and a splicing block in between.
I couldn't think of the name of it, J and I looked online. If this is right it is called a film winder.

I'm still not entirely sure of the "proper name" for it but with all the clues I found "N POWER CO" was located in New York. The company produced the cameragraph and was started by Nicholas Power in the very early 1900's. Maybe not a very good example but found http://www.ebay.com/itm/361343725878
