The large handle on the left looks like some kind of clutch mechanism to connect the engine to the wheels. How does that work?

Hi Gang: Mrs. Benz made the first long distance trip to Munich in the first model. Our apprentice shop at Bosch Charleston made a working replica.
They also built a Ford Quadracycle. There have been many replicas made of both. Carl.
