"Herailleur" sounds like a marketing term aimed at guys who feel that using multiple gears brings their masculinity into question.

Satbuilder's wheel truing stand photo reminded me of this photo....
To be honest, this is more of a modern affectation... to get the hub logo facing the valve. I don't recall anyone in the 70's suggesting this level of OCD was needed.

I give up. What is this?
I was guessing a stem of some sort, but it sure seems short.
Also, @streetsurfer - what is that 'spoke' tool, and how is it used? Ever since seeing it in your avatar, I've wondered. My brain tells me some sort of spoke wrench, but that can't be right given its configuration.

the round, is a spoke wrench (good guess) and the edges were used by dad as a stitching tool I believe. Holes seem to just be lightening holes. Some drillium if you will. And the slot slides onto the nipple to adjust it. This had been in my father's tool box from my earliest memories of the garage, and our bikes being worked on (circa’61-63), and I do remember it coming out for use when patches were applied, for possibly scarifying, but especially stitching, as best as my memory serves me…and the glue was lit afire, a mesmerizing and memorable part of the process for a young boy watching. One other member mentioned some time back that he had one or had seen it before.
You may find decaleur mentioned within Velo-Orange’s site. Seems that is where I learned of them. But, I will try and get that link showing similar designs, used on the stem, below the bars as either a rack or bag hanger.
