Did you get that from reading the article, or from your own life and experience?

A Bubble Wrap Popper? Some prefer to get the noise over and done with, before the kids get a hold of any leftover bubble wrap. It makes quite a clatter. You’d think somebody was making popcorn in the next room!

So, that’s how they used to beat their biscuits? Kinky.

4th Generation Eastern Shoreman here. Beaten biscuits are a thing. Round about the size of a golf ball, very dense, good with butter. And yes, that is a machine to make them.
To: Red Badger
Alot of possibilities. Are they sure that all the pieces are there? There could have been attachments that would have made identification easier that have been cannibalized.

I did a “lens” on it. Could be an etching press.

they are more like hardtack. In New England they are called "sea biscuits",[1] as they were staples aboard whaling ships.[2]They refer to hardtack alot in "In the Heart of the Sea" a true story about The Essex whaling ship and "The Great White Whale"

People often used a hammer on beaten biscuits.
They’re not like regular ‘biscuits’ - not fluffy and airy.
But a machine for them wouldn’t look like that, but more like an old clothes mangle or ‘wringer’:

Could it be to “join” several layers of something together? Or the dents could be filled with jam...or ravioli filling. To me, the ceramic counter top indicates food prep. The rollers are heavy-duty, maybe for large slabs of meat.

Hardtack was a common food for long journeys on land as well...............

Obviously, it is a Lazamataz 9000, a rare — but effective — automated Hitting-It machine.
