ABSTRACT:
A steering column including a steering wheel mounted on a tilt-housing of the steering column for up and down pivotal movement about a first transverse axis and a shroud or bezel on the tilt-housing. The shroud has a viewing port therein and a drum is supported on the tilt-housing behind the shroud for rotation about a second transverse axis parallel to the first transverse axis. An outer cylindrical wall of the drum having graphic symbols thereon is partially visible through the viewing port so that the symbols scroll across the viewing port as the drum rotates about the second transverse axis. A connecting rod has a first end pivotally connected to a stationary part of the steering column and a second end pivotally connected to a side of the drum eccentric relative to the second transverse axis so that the drum rotates about the second transverse axis concurrently with up and down pivotal movement of the tilt-housing.
