That’s a standard oscillator circuit with two opamps, one configured as an integrator, the other as a schmitt trigger, and it does what it says on the label and not much more 🙂 It’s the same circuit as this one:

The linked one is modified for more common resistor values (E3 series instead of E24), single supply, and also has buffers on the output, so is a bit nicer (see the linked build document for schematics and a circuit description). There’s also a link to an exponential CV converter in that thread.
