I've seen that arrangement on bicycle brake cable adjusters, car handbrake adjusters, and slots in the brake pipe securing brackets on the 240 front suspension turret.
The common arrangement on modern small cars I've worked on for connecting up the hand brake cable sections uses slotted metal tubes that fit over the cable but then pull tight as the thicker blob on the end of the cable slides into the tube.
