I found a story about the Brassler engine pictured.

If your old Tin Lizzie kicked back it might break your wrist, or bruise your forearm, make ya cry, maybe...this thing would put ya on the other side of the yard! |

I bet there is a ratcheting or clutch style mechanism that lets the thing freewheel when catches or backfires etc.

The old fords and such ya slipped it toward the engine and there was a notch/key way (for lack of the proper damn word), and as ya cranked it over ya pulled back toward yourself disengaging the handcrank in case it kicked back.
If ya timing wasn't good enough, well, it hurt. |
Seems like a feller could use a horse on a treadmill to start that.
