I believe that this is a 3-component force balance accelerometer. 
Kinemetrics made them from scratch in order to produce a
reasonably-priced product.  It triggers on an earthquake and sends
analog data to a central recording system.  It predates modern MEMS
accelerometers, will only detect strong local earthquakes, and should
only be purchased for a lot less than this vendor thinks it's worth. I'm
sure Larry's system will be better and reasonably priced.
