The shipping box uses US Military article format.
There is a National Stock Number (NSN) at top and a US Army Signal Corps drawing number.
Obviously it is a igniter of some type. Two possible military applications are a jet engine test stand or flame thrower ignition.

When I googled the name something came up about a military contract. Now I know!
Thanks Mr Patterson!
