1960's Baseboard Heater

I just moved into an apartment building from the 1960's and this is the control to the baseboard heaters in my unit. I have no idea how to work it. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Terry

unfortunately
That, my friend is just a vent....not a control. Look below and behind the cover, there may be a valve there or at the other end. Usually in an apartment, the best you get is a thermostat. But like I said there may be a valve (knob) under the cover to help you regulate the baseboards output a little bit.
Did your landlord tell you it was the control?There was an error rendering this rich post.

that's embarrassing.
Umm.... looked under the cover all along the heater and couldn't really find anything - but then again I'm not really sure what to be looking for. My landlord is kind of crazy and has only managed the building for a short while, so he doesn't really know much about these kind of things.

In some cases...
the WINDOW is the temperature control...
Too hot, open the window. Too cold, close the window.
Just right, leave the window where it is.
A.K.A. double hung thermostat.
