Ok, I'm probably confusing the switch then.
I resized and enhanced the photos and have attached the new one I made from it.
Is that 4 position switch for the C HT or am I totally wrong on that?

If ther eis a switch for CHT .. would this be so you can manually adjust the temp if needed?
No. Cylinder Head Temp is usually used to help you assess the health of your engine.
CHT itself doesn't have a switch, it is purely a measurement. _However_ ... * Some people put EGT and CHT on the same dial and need a switch to select which output is being shown at any given time. * Like EGT, it is often useful to have a peak hold feature, in which case you need a switch to disable the peak hold. * You normally have one CHT sensor per cylinder (sometimes two), so you either need to have lots of dials, or a switch to select among them, or an electronic display to cycle through them, etc. * On a racing aircraft, I might be tempted to connect an autothrottle to the CHT (with a switch to disable it), just like a lot of acft have an autolean that operates the mixture on carburated engines.
