Looks like a home made conversion from a long nose to a short nose - 'O' rings didn't exist in 1930 ?? There should be a coil spring which bears against a shoulder on the inner end of the nose and bears against the "hub" of the starting handle. I assume that the start handle boss does not pass through the bush (with the O ring) which it should do so the spring retracts the starting handle. But I could have got it all wrong !!
