deflection) the other circuit elements determine its function.

I can see a clever use of crossed needles in a PA to display "DC power input to the final", which might be of dubious usefulness given the modern PEP style power limit, but would have been the hot ticket back in the day.

ANother clever use would be to create a faceplate that has "safe operating area" marked on it.
