Abstract
A control stalk includes a support shaft and a head mounted on the support shaft. At least the head is rotatably mounted on the support shaft and latches in various radial switch positions. In each radial switch position, additional switch positions can be triggered by pivoting the support shaft. In order to create a control stalk that permits improved operation, especially when different devices to be operated are associated with the various radial switch positions, it is provided that at least the head be capable of being brought into a specified radial switch position by outside force. The outside force can be responsive to a telephone call.
