What is this?!@!

This was described to me by the person I bought it from as a Saunders 4-on-1 4x5 enlarging easel. Has anyone used one, or know how it works?

Years ago, I worked in lab that had an easle, possibly Omega, that allowed you load a full sheet of 8x10 paper and then put on a plate with a mask (for 5x7 or 3 1/2x5 or 2 1/2x3 1/2) . Once closed you could move the paper, (it had stops for accurate positioning) to print multiple prints on a single sheet of paper without moving the easle. It even had a recessed door on the aperature so that you could change negs and refocus, allowing you to print, say, four different 3 1/2x5s on a single 8x10 sheet.

Sorry Brian, it didn't look a thing like your' mystery easle but the description put me in mind of it. Maybe your's does something similar?
