BSA Air control cable (long)
A long air control cable running from the handlebar lever to the carburetor, used on tank/handlebar control setups from 1969-1972 catalog listings.
The 60-0823 is an air control cable, listed in long form, that runs from the handlebar controls down to the carburetor area by way of the petrol tank. On these bikes the air lever at the bar works the carb's air slide through a cable like this one, letting the rider richen or lean the mixture by hand rather than relying on an automatic choke.

This one shows up in the parts books under handlebar/controls/fuel tank figures, including versions covering the glass-fibre tank, across catalog listings from 1969 to 1972. The alias 60-823 is just the same number without the leading zero, so if you see it printed that way in an older book, it's the identical part.
Cables like this wear at the ends and fray inside the outer casing over time, so if the air lever feels stiff or doesn't return properly, it's worth pulling the cable to check before assuming the carb itself is at fault. Get in touch if you're not sure this is the length or routing your bike needs — the catalog doesn't spell out more than what's listed here.
