Took a bunch more pictures which have been uploaded to bitsavers.
It has a 12 position rotary switch that selects which potentiomenters are 
active.
There are red and green lights.
The circuit is just a resistor network.

I have a brochure for the device coming and
uploaded a clipping which says it was developed by
Dr C. D. Casey, director of feed research for Cooperative
Mills, Inc in Baltimore.

Searching quickly on google I see a reference to the one at the CHM in mountain 
view. 

Also found this https://trademark.trademarkia.com/cowculator-72119112.html 
which acknowledges the company. Not sure if it would link to additional info. 
Interestingly there are newer ones also seem to be measuring milk quality but 
I'm not sure if you input the variables or if the computer finds them.

I go disc golfing from time to time near Linthicum MD,  I know there were a
few surplus dealers of ancient eletronics near there, maybe something will

I took a better picture of the panel for this yesterday
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dlcCompany/cowculator

Other than a couple of want-ads from the early 60's I've
not been able to turn up any more information on this.

I'm assuming you optimize by adjusting the parameters to
zero on the meter.

Other than what is on the panel, I've not found anything
on the DLC Company in Linthicum, Md.
