3 Speed Shifter Cable Ferrule?

[gtown]

Should there be a ferrule at the end of this shifter cable that runs through the cable stop?

That's not the best picture, but it looks like the cable is just clamped to the frame. There should definitely be a stop of some kind, and most Sturmey-Archer cables cables used a clamp with a ferrule, to hold the cable without pinching it.

Some other examples:

This clamp is probably from a Shimano 3-speed rig.

This is a 1980 Ross Compact with a Shimano 3-speed hub. No clamp, but a brazed-on fitting.

A clamp marked "Shimano" from a Columbia "Sports 3."
