16 mm Minetta Viewer Editor

On this model there is a knurled wheel, really a projecting cog wheel, low down on the left side. It was almost solid but yielded to finger-scraping pressure and turns a little.
Anyone know what it's for? It doesn't seem to alter focus or inching.

Anyone reading this might also know if silver can be extracted from 40-year old undeveloped film, mostly colour. I know it could be retrieved from X-ray film. I assume there is no other use for it?
