Well it does a couple of things. It will shock you if you touch your fingers between LOC & GND, it acts as a line filter, and back in the 1920's it might have been used as an antenna connection. Wouldn't try it now too much interference. The best this to do is connect it to GND on the chassis and connect that to earth gnd (not thru the house wiring if you can help it)

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
