Intriguing!

It appears to have a drive pulley on the left-hand end to enable a drive belt from a motor (which would need some form of stop/start and speed control), but the pulley also appears to have a handle, presumably to turn it manually. I can't see any wire-tensioning arrangements or a wire guide. It's not apparent whether there is any means of traversing the wire back and forth or whether the wire is guided by hand.

Clearly built by someone with imagination and model engineering skills.
