Norton Nipple, Spoke, Disc Side
Spoke nipple for the disc-side of a front wheel, listed for the 1975 model year.
This is a spoke nipple for the disc side of a front wheel, listed in the Front Wheel and Brake section of the parts book for a 1975 model year. A spoke nipple is the small threaded fitting that anchors the outer end of a spoke to the rim, letting you true the wheel and keep tension even around the hoop.

The catalog ties this one specifically to the disc-side spokes, meaning it's built for a wheel that uses a front disc brake rather than a drum, and it's a different fitting position than the plain or drum-side nipples on the same wheel.
We only have this part turning up once in the catalog, tied to 1975, so if you're rebuilding a wheel, check what you're pulling off the bike against this before ordering. Give the shop a call if you want to confirm before you buy.
