          I have observed at many stations round knobs.. What do they do?
          
          They're about one foot in diameter, they're either made of metal or wood and
          they have 4 screws in them. What do they do? Are they outlets for where
          Telstra are supposed to put their phones?

          where the $ is a screw. Sorry for the terrible drawing, but it might help
          explain it!
