It doesn't say in the manual but I assume that the thread feeds thru it to put some tension on the thread while it is winding. I am assuming that you are referring to that long narrow piece of metal that is just by the bobbin winder.

Just paid a little more attention to the cabinet & it was also made by New Williams or at least for New Williams as it is on the foot treadle of the cabinet, in big letters "New Williams" so I assume this is NOT a Singer cabinet.
