I'd like to ask about this "empty set" like symbol with a diagonal line through a circle, as shown in the picture below. I have found it in an old electrical schematic. What is it exactly?

Those are terminals. Usually they indicate where external devices are connected to a board or panel and also for inter-connections between boards or panels.
In this case I would expect that devices 17 and 2 are wired to terminals (screw or solder-post) on the main assembly.
