The torches on the right light up, telling you how many of the levers are on. If no levers are on, no lights are on. If exactly one lever is on, the right torch is on. If both levers are on, the left torch is on.
Looks to me like the left output is ( A OR B ) AND ( A XOR B ), and the right output is just A XOR B. I cannot possibly fathom the usefulness of it.
As to what to call it, I don't know, it's just a string of logic gates.
Edit: Funnily enough, it turns out that ( A OR B ) AND ( A XOR B ) is functionally equivalent to A XOR B, unless my logic is wrong.

Close. The left output is ( A OR B ) AND ( A XNOR B )
This is definitely a half-adder. The logic holds up. 1 switch on and the output is binary 1, 2 switches on and the output is binary 2. It's very useful for creating calculators, but I'm not sure much else...correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Ok, then. That was the logic I was going for, so that would be it. Thanks to everyone who posted.

Ceci n'est pas une signature.
What is that?
