I just assumed it goes into one of the empty holes on the turret to anneal the cases as they go through the press. That is why the slot almost opposite the powder thrower is empty, it has to be installed at maximum separation from the powder thrower, this is to ensure that loads remain consistent by not having a few grains randomly burnt off occasionally.

Any doubt cast toward the above statement by the apparent lack of a 7/8 thread on the gas torch can be alleviated by the presence of the vice grips and hammer in the photo. These make redundant any need for the correct thread.
