Just a guess, but I'll bet its a crystal calibrator. In that case
the "Cal" pot would be used to trim the crystal oscillator
frequency in for zero beat with a known standard like WWV.

Your posting is timely as I am sitting here listening to my
Drake R-4C with its old style analog dial. It has a built-in
crystal calibrator for tweaking in the dial.
