      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  I believe it was to allow either the voltage or frequency to be increased. A bit like overclocking I guess. Wouldn't surprise me, with the components they had back then, running things a little hot wouldn't be for the faint hearted, hence all the gauges and power dials.

                  There's a bit more explanation of how it was expected to work here.

                    The big wheel was connected to a potentiometer, there was a voltmeter in series, and a meter that swung back and forth.

                    It was, actually, to stop managers pressing anything proper.
