It`s a starless drag system .   The crank handle is the drag control , and the little lever is to dial in and clock the drag range .

How does the little handle move with the handle lock screw in place?

Or is it pre-set?

Interesting. So if you're winding against resistance the drag pressure I guess goes up on its own?

   The little lever is set stationery / clocked , you can set this on one quarter increments    It has a stop nub for the crank handle / drag control .
 When fighting a fish , the handle will tighten as you encounter resistance until it hits the stop on the little lever .   to loosen the drag you pull back on the handle against the dog gear and the drag loosens .

You basically working with less than one turn of a normal drag wheel .
  It is a gadget that really did not "work " for most fishing situations .
