My interpretation of googles interpretation of the first schematic is the flywheel has an integral safety torque limiter, in other words a slipping clutch to protect the drivetrain, rather than a centrifugal clutch. Quite unusual. Maybe because the Wilson gearbox will engage with a helluva bang if some effort is not made to rev-match to the selected gear.
The thing to the right of the flywheel translates to be a step-up or step-down gearbox.
The clutch operation that puzzled me in the video seems to have the effect of disconnecting the steering drum from the drive shaft during gear steering operation to allow gear reduction, and the combined effect of braking the track and disconnecting the track from the drive shaft during brake steering operation.
