It's a gear system used to get higher shaft rotation speed from four draft animals. I would guess that the output ratio is about 40 revolutions for each turn of the animals around the ring gear. What it was built to drive is a mystery, but it looks like a bevel gear on the output, so the output shaft could come out to one side.
Maybe it was the drive system for a circular saw sawmill, or grain mill.

11 views, and no action.
Here's a hint. It has a small hole in it.

Correct material choice. This piece has a special job, and that's what the puzzle is about. The hint should be almost a giveaway.

There's a give-away, but it's not necessarily the hint. I will remain silent, for ethical reasons, LOL.

It's this particular piece of tape that has the special purpose. It's not a package. LOL. You made me grin though.

It's a pinhole zoom lens. By moving the pinhole on the bellows rail, the focal length changes, the same as a zoom.

Is it a green pig that's been run over by a flying saucer and covered with a white sheet, lying on brown pavement on thumbnail planet?
Second guess, white nose, grey nostril?

Here is a good one. Get at it.
