Garwood Controls
Colorful.
Sanyo Maxi-Chef Knob
One simple control is sometimes the best. No other controls necessary for this.
Boat Buttons
Space Mountain Cargo Control Center
Fun to see 1970s scifi UIs.
Piste Basher Cockpit
This is the inside of one of those giant snow groomers. Cool. Looks pretty complicated, with those two joysticks on the right.
Austrian Airline Business Class Seat Controls
"Ten Controls for the seat plus three additional preset positions, and not to mention a massage button that my fingers are covering."
I'm digging the clarity of this diagram and relating the seat motors to body positioning.

Only 1-7 and 0. Wonder what this was for.

Tram Controls
Nagasaki, Japan
DeHavilland
ATV Throttle
Lever Set
Ye Olde Airplane Passenger Basic Controls
You know, the ergonomics of these kind of suck. If you are elderly, how do you reach up to adjust the air flow? It requires some detail hand work and these things never work very well--it is difficult to get the right flow of air aimed in the right place. Especially since you have to change your position to adjust the air, then when you sit down you have to test to see whether it is hitting the right spot on you or not, often requiring more adjustment, etc.
