Yes! It's right next to the take up spool on my OM-4T. Since it's not part of
the OM-1, OM-2, or OM-G, and does not seem to move or have any real use, I was
puzzled as to what it was.
Thank you, one and all

Now I know its true purpose!
Always wondered what that was for in my OM-4. First thing I noticed the
first time I loaded film in it. My OM-1n, OM-10 and OM-2S don't have
it. The only purpose I could think of for it was helping keep film started
on the takeup spool when loading it, but would have expected the others to
have something similar, especially the OM-2S.
