Two brass plungers joined with a piece of wire braid, held appart with a
spring. One end touches the tag on the rear of the horn button, the other end
sweeps round on the circular brass track behind the stearing wheel boss.
It look like you are missing one of the plungers. The whole assembly is
available from the usual suppliers for a few pounds. (In the UK at least)
Hope this helps.
