  I believe this is some kind of IBM mainframe (or 3270?) terminal that contains harness assembly drawings for the product. Because the display says, "cable cutter," I think this is an assembly drawing on the screen. The thing that looks like a pen with a cable attached is a light pen. The keyboard has PF-keys, the predecessor to modern F-keys on a Mac or PC. If you point the light pen at certain points on the screen diagram showing the harness, the display will zoom or go to a different detail drawing.
