It does seem like a very close copy of a Cincinnati dividing head. It doesn't have the input shaft that would allow it to be coupled to the power feed of the milling machine table ( if it did it would be able to cut helixes and cams) but it does have the additional mechanism within the main dividing plate that, I believe, increases the number of possible divisions to 400,000.
