Two control knobs for a heating/cooling system. The left knob controls the temperature while the right controls the fan speed. A control knob is a rotary device used to provide manual input adjustments to a mechanical/electrical system when grasped and turned by a human operator, so that differing extent of knob rotation corresponds to different desired input.
