ANTIQUE PULSE GENERATOR

I just picked up a "Measurements" brand Pulse Generator, Model 79-B at an antique store. I was more interested in the vacuum tubes inside. It's schematics & manual are in great condition & it seems to work. One problem...I have no idea what it does!

Pulse generators are generally voltage sources, with true current pulse generators being available only from a few suppliers.

These pulses can then be injected into a device under test and used as a stimulus or clock signal or analyzed as they progress through the device, confirming the proper operation of the device or pinpointing a fault in the device. Pulse generators are also used to drive devices such as switches, lasers and optical components, modulators, intensifiers as well as resistive loads.The output of a pulse generator may also be used as the modulation signal for a signal generator.

Among other things, I believe this device is used to check a vehicle engine's timing.
