Unfortunately this is not the case with the Report IC series which has a unturnable cylindrical speed change knob. In addition there is no off position which means that the rubber of the drive wheel is always in contact with metal which can lead to damage of the rubber.
I seem to remember that the BBC monograph on mutilating the speed change is available on the net somewhere, might be a help...
