Wow! That is really neat! I would love to know more about this venerable old timer and your project.

It's a 1918 "Favorit" knitting machine from Sweden. There's not really a project yet, this was the first try after spending all day cleaning up gunk, dust and hair from the machinery. It's a fascinating piece of technology, though I'm not personally a knitter. That's my wife's thing.
