Middle lug and stem
Middle lug and stem (lower triple clamp/steering stem) for the telescopic front fork, also cataloged as 97-2288 and H3659.
This is the middle lug and stem for the telescopic front fork, what most folks call the lower triple clamp or steering stem. It's the piece that carries the fork legs through the steering head and gives the front end something to pivot on. The catalog also lists it as 97-2288, and the older book number H3659 turns up as the same part under the earlier numbering system.

It shows up in the parts books for the telescopic front fork across a few different figure listings, including fork setups for T90, T100S, T100T, and TR6R/T120R machines, spanning catalog years 1969 to 1970. Because this is a structural steering component tied closely to specific fork and frame combinations, it's worth confirming against what's on your bike before ordering — the crown and stem geometry isn't universal across every year and model even within a similar-looking fork assembly.
If you're pulling one of these off an old fork, check the condition of the steering head bearings and races while you're in there, since they're right next door and easy to inspect with the stem out.
