What is it? It looks a little like a wallwart psu. But I'm far from convinced. I vaguely recall 42v being used rather than 220v in some places, but don't remember any details.

42V DC is the nominal charger voltage used for charging 36V Lithium Ion cells used on electric bicycles.

The intention was to replace the 12 V with 42 V in car electrification, but I have not heard about it for years.
From Popular Mechanics Magazine... Whatever Happened to the 42-Volt Car? "So what went wrong here? The automotive industry found that switching off 42 volts wasn't that easy."

I don't believe it's any of the 3 explanations offered so far. It's a 1980s soviet device.

It was a bad idea.
Looks like something like Snap Circuits. The 220:42 center tapped would be the highest voltage it would be safe for students.
