It is the analogue computer simulation of a damped mechanical system (spring
pendulum?). Probably the first design to move from analogue computer to
electronic music, as it is in every analogue computer text book dating back
to the 30's and 40's.

The biquad is a variant that use a single resistor to set Q, may work better
for oscillating.
