Lubricator block. Each of these is a single lube pump, tubed to different points on the engine. The glass window would allow the operator to adjust the rate of lubrication by counting the drops of oil.
The small buttons in front of each pump allowed for priming the pump.
There's a long camshaft in the case below the pumps that operate each one.
