It’s the closure mechanism for a locking latch. Here is a better picture of the latch itself.

What makes this one particularly interesting is the case it is attached to. This is a very old field service case from McDonnell Douglas. It’s actually slotted to carry specific boards. An interesting relic from our computing past.
