It’s an indicator chain/spindle fpr a Sturmey Archer three speed hub. The spindle screws into the hub and the chain sticks out and attaches to the shift cable.

It’s either a cassette whip (to break down a cassette )
OR a midevil evil whip (to break down subjects and lazy employees! !)

Sturmy Archer 3spd indicator chain. Maybe Sach’s… not sure about that block on the long rod…

Agree with others about the indicator chain for internally gear hub. Chris commented on the odd looking rod length and end portion which is quite unlike most classic Sturmy indicator chains (8spd version?). Possibly a Sachs Orbit type system

That was supposed to be: Sachs Torpedo Indicator Chain. Must have tandems on the brain today.

When the chain broke …in went a spoke bent over for the desired gear and cut with pliers…

indicator chain from a sachs (3 speed) internally geared hub- the sturmey archer one comes to more of a bullet-looking point on the end which threads into the hub.
