Actually I believe it is called a 'rack' and originally used for the
'rack and pinion' steering on the early technic cars
Let me try my hand at ASCII art:

/\/\/\/\/\/\
|______|

Someting like that, right?

And the gear meshes with it like this:

      \ | /
     --O--
/\/\/\/\/\/\
|_______|

And therefore when the steering wheel turns, the rack goes back and
forth, pivoting the front wheels.
