What is the function of small, serrated round chrome knob on top-center of 1936 coupe dash—next to base of windshield?

Thank you…

Windshield wiper switch.
Wipers will not operate unless the engine is running as they work from engine vacvuum.

Thanks for clarifying I just got the vehicle and wiper is not functional as engine is 1970 V8 w/o vacuum hookup and existing motor is dead. There’s also a ‘wiper’- labeled control knob on face of dash. So with a new electric wiper motor, I’m assuming that will be operational control and the top serrated knob will not be used.
