Wiki tells me:

The "spinning knobs" once commonly bolted to the steering wheels of farm implements and trucks prior to the advent of power steering were referred to as "suicide knobs" and, by association, "Brodie knobs," as their misuse could lead to loss of control of the vehicle.

(referring to Steve Brodie)

Had to go look up who Steve Brodie was. Strange how that name would spread for a knob. We spell it wrong though.
