The Chinese seem to like leaf screws to lock movements. It is just a M8 screw, with a slot at the top end, in which pivots a flat steel lever.presumably, the screw bears on the gib strip and uses that to lock that particular slide.

It is likely to ,be identical to the one used to lock the Top Slide.

It is very small version of the swivelling "power bar" used to tighten 1/2" and 3/8" drive sockets, but with a shorter lever, about 15 mm long.

It may be that cost analysis has found that an Allen grubscrew will do the same job more cheaply?

The likely location is halfway along one of the dovetails of the Cross Slide. Mine is in a horizontal tapping on the Tailstock side of the Cross Slide.
