Abstract
The present invention concerns an improvement to the 'jog and shuttle' knobs used on electronic or electrical devices, notably video devices such as video recorders. The control according to the invention includes a knob mounted inside a cavity in the face-plate of the control panel such that the external face of the knob is aligned with said face-plate, and a finger fixed to a ring mounted coaxially with the knob, the finger being mounted such that it moves around the arc of a circle in the cavity.
