I have a similar push-up.  It is a Melville and Clark with a wind-up
motor to drive the roll, with a speed control knob sticking out the
front from the motor.  It is buried under a pile of other stuff in my
store so it is hard to get at.  It is unrestored.

I think I still have a spare motor for one of these as well.  It turned
up in a junk auction, and no one knew what it was.  I thought I did and
so bought it, and yes, it was exactly the same as the one on my
machine,  speed control and all.
