    I wonder what it was for, as it is described as a "Numbering Machine", It may not do what we think. The paper tape in it puzzles me. I wonder if it was for making grading tapes for printing. I think it would take a lot of work to convert to a telecine scanner.

      It was a numbering system for Sync, most wound up in the bin having been made obsolete. The PicSync was a popular invention as well based in London.

        Lee is correct this is a film numbering machine. The numbering block heats up and revolves as the Film passes through embossing a number using the coated tape. By passing the picture and the mag sound track through sync could be maintained by matching numbers printed along the perforation side. The seller obviously has no idea what their devices is. Nor even that it is 16 mm.

          Spot-on Joe, HaHa.
          Yes it’s an edge numbering machine aka ‘rubber numbering’ machine.
          The BBC film department had dozens of these back in the day.
          Best.
