What is the function of this bike part?

I think that's a bellcrank on an old hub gear - maybe Shimano 3 speed?
Much like the indicator rod and chain arrangement on Sturmey Archers, it moves the inside gubbins about to get the different gears.

Thanks. I asked a friend about it today, and he confirmed what you said.

I take it you had problems getting the phone to focus on the right bit?
It's a lovely sharp picture of the rack!

Not a pop at the OP, it's hard getting phones to do what you want them to.
Or maybe that's just me.

It is a sprung rear rack for carrying things on the bike.

The general technique is to look at the photo you've just taken before posting it, and have another go if it's naff.

However if you have taken the photo, know what the photo contains, can see what it is you have taken the photo of is in the photo then all is good.
