It's ok, i just answered my own question, here is the info.

Leitz Wetzlar Eldia 17900 W

It’s made to use with your classic Leica; it’s a long-established accessory, first introduced in 1931

The name probably comes from Ernst Leitz (EL) DIApositiv (diapositives being slides).
, as its name suggests is a contact printer for filmstrips (using slow “ordinary” film, blue-sensitive only) or paper contact prints. The original idea was to shoot negatives; contact-print them with the ELDIA
