Question for B214ST drivers

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone can educate me on why the B214ST collective is designed the way it is. Is the horizontal part of the collective the individual throttle/power controls for each engine?
I have included a pic circled and labelled 'a' and 'b' for what I assume may be the individual controls.
If they are the throttles, is it normal practice to fly with your hand on them continuously (horizontal axis through the fist) or is the lever gripped in a conventional way (longtitudinal axis through the fist) around the lever itself?
Thanks in advance.
CB
