It is just a Lucas rheostat that was installed on the early street Cobras and used to dim the gauge lights. SAI team mechanics used Ford knobs so that they would be easy to see and operate with a gloved hand.

I am not sure how many here have driven a Cobra at night but the reflection of the gauge lights on the inside of the windshield is pretty bad at times.
