I call it a toggle. Marc probably calls it an "operator". Blum calls it the "thingy".

I'm just trying to figure out how to say the two sides of this main breaker need to be connected. Maybe that is good enough.

Breaker tie or tie for the breakers is how I've always referenced them. Can't say for certain it's a technically correct name though but it always has gotten the point across.

"A breaker tie-bar is needed" avoids the difficult handle question. 
Wow, I just looked at the pic. Yes those 100 amp main handles certainly need a tie bar (handle tie).

"Handle tie" is the term you find in the NEC [240.15(B)].

Thank you Mr. Hansen, so I guess that makes them "Handles" and not switches or levers. Funny how trying to find the proper name for something I see every day, can make my head itch.
