First, KSP-1 is just apparatus type, batch name, so it has few sense for us in this case.
Running positions are 1,9,11,16,18(controller stops there in correspondence with driver's handle position)
0 -
OFF
1 -
MANEURER (
Series connection @ all resistance in circuit)
= 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 = bypass resistances one by one (
series notching-up)
9 -
SERIES (
RUN-1)
=10 - tratzitive to series, weak field (
SERIES, INTERMEDIATE (67%) FIELD)
11-
SERIES, 50% FIELD (
RUN-2)
= 12- transitive from series to parallel, while 50% field retained
= 13- parallel @ all resistance in circuit, & 100% field restored (
start of parallel notching-up)
= 14, 15 = further bypassing resistances one by one @ parallel with 100% field
16-
PARALLEL (
RUN-3)
=17- tranzitive (
PARALLEL, INTERMEDIATE (67%) FIELD)
18-
PARALLEL, WEAK FIELD (
RUN-4)
12-th uses weak field because at the same time switching from series to parallel takes place.

So I would assume driver's power controller might be:
OFF (0)
MANEURER (M)
SERIES, FULL FIELD (I)
SERIES, WEAK FIELD (II)
PARALLEL, FULL FIELD (III)
PARALLEL, WEAK FIELD (IV)
