It looks like the patch panel on the old HP 1640 serial data analyzer.

I am also making the connection to PLC or DCS control system part. Those babys were really big bundles of wire, so it may be a bus terminator of some sort.

Could it be an input panel from an analog computer?

I’m thinking it a relay board of sorts.

it could be an input for a modular synth… It’s kind of a stretch, but it’s possible. Synthi 100? http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/synthi.php
