Mystery turn control device on older jets

I recall seeing, long ago, a sort of large knob on the pedestal of a jet (I
can't remember which kind) that, when turned, put the aircraft into a
coordinated turn ... at least if I recall correctly. No modern jets seem to
have anything like this. Am I imagining things, or did something like this
exist on earlier jets. I recall it being called a flight director, I think,
but the behavior doesn't seem to be like the devices people call flight
directors today.

Probably the autopilot manual turn controller.

You're an idiot.

Do you have any reason for reading this newsgroup other than to make
repeated juvenile comments about mxsmanic? ie do you fly yourself? are you
an interested wannabe? , do you have anything to contribute aviation wise?
If the answer to the last 3 questions is no, would you **** off if we sent
you $500?

BTW you are a jerk. Yes I am an Australian and proud of it , but a little
less proud knowing you probably are an Australian also. Does it occur to
you that your stalking behaviour ( I think thats a valid description for
someone whoes only intent is to reply to one single poster) is obviously
water off a ducks back to mxs.. he clearly sees you as an intellectual
inferior not even worthy of acknowledgement that you exist. I'll be sharing
that sentiment after this post. And BTW I dont believe for 1 minute you are
a pilot.

I say, I say, son...you're even dumber than you look! But you just keep
sitting there confident in your private pilot knowledge and ignore the big
boys who know far more than you ever will.

And stop scratching, already.
