Looking at a photo of a 767 flightdeck I am trying to figure out what the "window-winder" looking handle is above the tiller. Perhaps other flightdecks have something similar but I can not say. The handle does not look as though it could do a complete 360 degree revolution and surely it can't be for winding down the DV window?
Cheers!

Nearly right: it winds back, not down.

The B777 has one too. Bit further back, so idiots like me don't try to open the window by winding the nosewheel steering hard over, or trying to taxi the aeroplane with the window winder!
