Tachometer head
A tachometer head (RPM gauge) from the electrical equipment section of the parts book, catalog record tied to 1970.
This is a tachometer head, the instrument that reads engine RPM off the cable drive and shows it on the dial. It shows up in the electrical equipment section of the parts book, which is common for instruments even though they're driven mechanically rather than wired in - the book groups gauges and lighting together as one cluster of equipment on the machine.

Our only catalog record for this one is a single listing tied to 1970, so we don't have much else to go on for this specific head. The manufacturer code on file points to Amal, but tachometers of this era were typically Smiths instruments - if you're trying to match one up, check the dial face and casing markings against what you've got rather than relying on the number alone.
