It depends on whomever designed it really. I would call it a braking arm or braking lever arm. The brown thing on there is the braking pad, likely leather. The braking cam would be the oblong thing that rotates and presses against the brake arm to increase pressure.
What are is it for? Cars build in different countries will have different names for the same parts.

Wasn't it Dan Aykroyd that said that? It's been a while since I broke out my Drogan's decoder wheel though...

It's a brake. I have an MCE, but I can't see that mine has the same. The Associated cars had some that were servo operated. Look to see if that one has a servo attachment. From the looks of the pic, I am questioning whether or not is it decel or shift in weight activiated.

I would say looking at Mike's pic, it operates by the throttle horn pushing a lever on the other end of the rod?

thats exactly right... the bar that has the push peice there thats still in tact moves via servo, and presses again flywheel to stop.
