my guess is mute goes to the comm system, and retract and extend may be for a cable or something for rescues, since it mentions hoist

 

all just specualtion. the only helos I've flown in have been in the rear, not the cockpit :lol:

I have seen some of these before, if memory serves me right, they are the control assembly for the hoist systems on the really large helicopters, like Ch-47's, CH-53's, and the CH-54 (I think that was what the Skyhook was, the really huge one that sits up high on the extended legs). I think the assembly runs the hoist / lift system that goes up through the bottom of those helos, like what you'd use to lift and carry a truck or trailer of whatever.
