Seems to be related to the french Minitel service.

Unclear if/which hardware is included in the Loritel package - the picture shows only a cable... if it is a cable at all... might be a simple belt or strap to be wrapped around the map...?

Possibly, additional hardware has been supplied by the PTT (french Postal, Telephone, Telecommunications service)...?
