I think what he's referring to are the old rotary switched on the operator 

panel of the Sys/38.  You set one to position 3 and one to position 4, 
then pressed the (correct me if memory fails me) power on button.  This 
was how you 'cold-started' the '38.

The Sys/38 also had a big red button that you had to pull to do an 
emergency shutdown.  I recall one time someone was on the phone in the 
computer room and for the receiver cord tangled around this button, and 
yanked on the cord to free it...
