Looks like it's connected to a crankshaft - the crankshat spins around and pushes that rod up, then pulls it down. Whatever the other end of the rod was connected to either also spun in a circle, or had another rod on the far opposite end that was opposit of this. (When this one was up, the other side was down), and so on.
