A former employee of Stanford Telecom told me this was used to test the large scale integration GPS receiver chips that Stanford Telecom made. In particular this test transmitter was used to measure the jitter between channels on their GPS receiver chips. The Quantic 5200 GPS receiver uses the Stanford Telecom GPS receiver chip set.
This is a late 1970s GPS signal generator. Many boards are
done with wire wrap. It contains 3 commercial power
supplies,
Boards
A-1 through A-10, and the Microwave section. The design of
this
unit follows the ICD-200
spec in design.

Stanford Telecom also made the 7200 GPS simulator from 1989 to 2000 [ION Museum: Stel Satellite Signal Generator (SSG)]

ICD-GPS-200 is the controling document for the GPS system.
Figure 3-2. Generation of Codes and Modulating Signals -
many of the names in this diagram match the card names in the A1 to A7 range. It is clear to me that ICD-GPS-200 was the source document for this very early GPS transmitter used for test purposes because at that time there were no GPS satellites yet flying.
