Google is your friend. I can't read what it says but if you can read it you can google the name and likely get the info you wish. Does not appear to be military.

See it's so much easier to have us do the research for this young lad.
See it is off the famous much sought after:
BELL HOWELL 1592*Directamotion film projector
These projectors were probably highly classified equipment for viewing the testing of the nuclear weapons that were tested.
I can't imagine how much this would be worth as the projector auction hammer fell plus 10% commission on the sale. $2.95

Used to project such 16mm training hits as: "Strictly Personal: Hygiene". "Louse Borne Diseases" and "Malaria Prevention"
