I am looking for a small brass or stainless rod, approx 1/16" diameter
x 1/4" length, which has a threaded hole on the side, so that I can
screw on another rod perpendicular to it. This sounds like regular
hardware, right ? What is it called and where do I find it ? Thanks.

Never heard of such a thing. The closest thing
I can think of would be a hinged standoff:

I looked through my assortment of dowelpins, I don't have anything
that small. By the way, on internally threaded dowel pins, the
threaded part is for screwing in a slide hammer for easier
removal.

Sound like something a clock parts supplier would be adept at making.
1/16 diameter means the threaded hole will have to be smaller than an
0-80. Likely something like a 0.8 UNM (Unified Miniature Thread) with
127 TPI would be required.

Shouldn't be much of a job for someone with the right small size
tooling, but I wouldn't want to tackle it in my home shop. G

I'd suggest light table and such support rods - but 1/16" diameter is very thin
and 1/4" length is very short. I suspect it is custom.

You don't mention the drill hole in the side - but drill rod would be a source -
and then drill, tap and cut to length.
