In a way it could be Gloria. It's a very technical piece of kit and is involved in triggering a signal. I have never come across one. I don't think they ever became common.

A guess, a smoke alarm where a light beam is obscured enough for the light focus to drop on a heat sensitive switch setting off the alarm.

You get more than that. As far as I know you are right. It's a flame tachograph used in an early recorder of heart rate.
