Many European steam engines used a screw reverser, operated by a wheel, to control the direction and volume of steam admitted to the cylinders. Frequent adjustment of these to control speed was seen as a good idea, being economical in the use of steam. <br />Some electric locos used a steering wheel object for notching up & down the power - again to moderate speed. Hope this helps.
