B737 - Thumb switches on column

Hi.

I'm doing a JAA ATPL at the moment, with their 'standard' aircraft being something along the lines of a 737. I noticed the other day some switches (of some sort) in the same place as the thumb trim switches, but on the other side (right thumb for captain, left for F/O). They look like three sliders of some sort, but nobody I've asked has any idea what they're for.

Does anyone know? Are they just there for show.....

Many thanks in advance,

NW3

They were there originaly as a memory aid for Callsigns/FL's etc. Some use them some dont. They are just counters.
See you in Jerez..
