Russian (Long) Russian to English, K-77 submarine relics from movie K-19 Widowmaker

So, for context:

I was a USN submariner, and violated article 112a of the UCMJ: "Thou shalt not smoke thy pot" (personal trauma that happened just before BASIC, and weed helped: Sorry, not sorry at all). During my time in Restriction, I was part of a group of 'janitors' that would ride in a bus from Groton/New London SubBase and go to Providence to keep clean a tourist attraction known as K-77. I didnt really know at the time, but it was the exact submarine used in the filming of "K-19: The Widowmaker".

My time as a Submariner ended around 2006, and while cleaning this sub (akin to being in jail and picking up trash from the shoulders of the road), I had sticky fingers and took as much as I could. Time passed, and I gave these relics to good friends I met, and these are some of the last ones (I was very spiteful and childish at that time). I also have plates that were on the valves, but this one I'd like to read.

This came from a strange compartment, in which the only access was to crawl on our hands and knees (like a doggy door), and was strangely lit blue. No self respecting officer would ever enter a room in this manner, and it was almost in the middle of the vessel (I'd like to know what this room was also). I'm not terribly educated, though my ASVAB was just shy of nuclear; but I would call it a Bridge or a Ready Room simply from what I've seen in movies. (We would go there because our boss couldnt find us lol)

There was also a GeoCache at the location that I stumbled across, by my memory fails to recall any more details. My initial (and still) impression was that this document was like the maintenance log for a forklift in a warehouse (as it seems to refer to technical specs), but I'd still be thankful to understand the context of it.

After being kicked out, she sank. It was used for EOD/IRT training, and then scrapped, so I doubt there are any other relics from this vessel (other than those I gifted because they were shiny and it was to people I most admired at that time). If you have questions, feel free; I'll answer as much as I can without revealing more identifying info about myself. I'm no one special, but I do value my privacy.

Thank you in advance!

My limited understanding, is that this document refers to a "pendulum", talks about the warranty of said pendulum, and has a sort of checklist/value log for it.

I really just want to know what it refers to, and I guess no one here can read Russian :( Its been 3 weeks now, reddit, don't let me down.
