that's part of the centrifical switch, that's the two conacts that should be closed on start up for the starting winding to operate, in this case the spring that pulls them together has expanded due to the overload heat, this is a very early form of starting switch , the moving part that opens on start up actually came through the rotor, at that time it was all still experimental to a degree as there wasn`t a great deal of previous data to go to....
