I'm just realizing how that bizarre thing works. The whole top half blows back with the recoil, and some kind of projecting tooth engages that zigzag track to spin the cylinder. Never seen anything like it!

One of the reasons it wasn't adopted (or never became popular) was the unreliability of the pawl mechanism for advancing the cylinder. Of course production costs were the main problem.
Continuing to use a top break system just shows how folks have trouble thinking outside the box.
