Whats this for then?

[taylorgdl]

Got a couple of these in a job lot of stuff.





Plate on the side says:
"I.T.E. Kirk Interlock"
"S.O. 45 - 87252"
"Item 4"
"I.T.E. Imperial Corporation, Greensburg, PA, USA"

I'm guessing some sort of industrial fridge/freezer or something.

Anyone with any ideas?

Got a picture of the rear view with the parts apart?

I think its an interlock,

They are used on machines etc so that the machines power is cut off if for example the gurads are removed or the electrics cover opened,

In fact im almost sure its an interlock,

[Shrub]

Well i say almost sure i mean i think it is.
