I think the small metal piece is a filling guide for glass volume. Something that clips to the side of the mold and is removed when filled. It was wired to the press when I got it, so I just left it there.
Thanks for taking the time to film/explain/share your press's workings. This is an amazing piece of engineering. What is the small metal piece hanging on the side of the machine (around 2:27)?

Great explanation of how this press would have been used. I can imagine a group of glass workers busy pressing objects with this machine. Thanks.
