What clips in the clip ?

Just can't figure this out. I'm a 66 year old newbie to acoustic machines. I've been repairing and enjoying tube record players for over 50 years, but this is all new to me. I recently acquired the humble VV 4 - 3 consolette.
It sounds great. I use it for playing early electrics. I'm really enjoying it. BUT ... there is this bracket on the motorboard that is making me crazy 'cause I do not know why it is there. On the top right side of the motorboard is one round well with a needle cup in it. Just below that is a black, rectangular metal thingy. It has a finger like, punched out, clip on either side and an indentation in the center. Wazzit there for ? I have a couple of portable machines with a large version for holding the crank, but this is much too small for that. I can't find a picture of it on the net. I feel like I should be able to intuit this but I just don't get it. I know Victor wouldn't have spent the money to include it if they didn't think it was necessary or a selling point. Thanks for keeping me sane by filling me in.
