I'm not really sure, but I think it's an exercise that was only held at two Olympic Summer Games, in 1952 and 1956.
It involved the entire team doing an exercise with a portable apparatus. It was very much alike with the rythmic gymnastics today. Below is a link to YouTube, that'll better show you what this is all about.
Hope it helped.

Actually there are 6 types under the heading gymnastics. These are: Artistic, Rhythmic, Acrobatic, Aerobic, Tumbling and Trampolining. Each different types arose due to different areas being incorporated within the FIG. Artistic uses the apparatus, Rhythmic uses the 5 portable apparatus, Acrobatic uses the floor as a pair or team without apparatus, Aerobic is like doing vigourous exercise on the floor, Tumbling uses a 25 metre springy mat and Trampolining obviously uses a trampoline.
Rhythmic gymnastics is an activity that involves teams of 5 or an individual that manipulate two or only one piece of apparatus. It is usually a ribbon, hoop, ball or rope.
Mary Lou Retton was in the first US gymnastics team.
