This is an interesting article here

Both systems existed already in 1939. The "Dash" switch was abandoned for its impracticality in favour of the throttle switch, which remained there till the last variant.

The Clod model of the "dash switch" is somewhat inaccurate, as the real one could be locked in the bottom position for feathering the prop.
