It's a model that shows body sensitivity. Bigger the body part the more sensitive it is.

Is it a punch for preparing machine operating cards? It punches small rectangular holes in a card or plastic sheet and these slotted cards control the machine. They were frequently used in laundries to control washing machine cycles.
