Here is what people are thinking/guessing: |
It loooks like the remains of a whole house vacuum system.
The low voltage wiring was used to switch on the main unit
when a cap was opened and a vacuum hose inserted.

had one with wires in the hose to power a beater brush,,,
been a while but seems like you simply plugged in the hose
and two spring loaded BB's juiced it up and the flip lid wall
cover also had a contact ... i forget exacts,,, nutone system
on offices built 1970. Was No cloth covered bell nor nutone
control wire in 1970.

The wires are low voltage to start the vacuum when you
plug the hose in. They are not power for the beater.
