Trim wheel

For context here is the trim wheel on the throttle quadrant. The "Green Band" is the normal takeoff range. On the NG it is usually around 5 units for takeoff Don't know on the Max. You can see the handle folded in to the wheel across from the white stripe, which is there to indicate rotation visually. If, for example, one were to go from 0 back to 5 units, that would apparently take 50 rotations. Lower your hand next to your knee in a sitting position and make 50 X 25cm (10inch) rotations to simulate full deflection.

The cutout switches are on the bottom right front.
