Reference: Palm nut = hand knob

Reference information:
Here's a web page with all sorts of different varieties of 'knobs that can be operated by hand' (and others) — this is what I also know by the term 'palm nut'; I wonder if perhaps that is a US term?

Anyway, I hope this takes you at least half way to finding what they are in FR!
