Newby question here: What is the purpose of the control lock? Is this when parked on the ramp, and disengaged before flight? Or some other purpose. Thanks!

Univair seems to have some grimes lamps for sale ...
I try to avoid parts houses. They ask $10 for a bolt where I can get a whole box on eBay for $8. But, I’ll check it out.
