The grooved block is conductive???when
The two stubs on the backside are perhaps for physical mounting?
My guess would be that it's a mercury reservoir for a 'homeopolar generator'.
A conductive disk on a horizontal axis. The axle is one terminal and
the mercury pool is the other terminal. Put a magnetic field across
the disk (B perpendiculat to disk surface), crank the disk to get
current flow from F = Qv x B.
Try analyzing it from d(flux)/dt !!!!!!!!!!!

The link below points to a picture of something I
found in the physics lab. Does anyone know what this
thing is? It has an electrical binding post on it and
has a wide groove sliced in it on one side.
