This is a 555 Timer circuit used to control a servo motor. Adjusting the potentiometers should change the duty cycle of the control signal sent to the servo.
The circuit has been modified to include a switchable control to allow for 2 trimable preset positions.
In this circuit, the switched positions are also controlled by a 555 monostable circuit. The time can also be adjusted with the trimmer.
To adjust the position of the potentiometer, tap/click on the % parameter and use the slider to adjust the value.
