Kick panel vent handle in '68

I believe this is the factory kick panel vent handle for a '68 (see pic). Sounds like they changed it to a round knob in '69. I can't make sense of why the early ones were designed this way. If it spins easily on the rod, it's very awkward to use. I'm not even sure which direction it's supposed to be turned on the rod. Anybody have some background behind this design? I never got to use one when new, so maybe it made more sense back then?
