A later design implemented a rolling cylindrical pawl called a "nut" to retain the string.
A ratchet-and-pawl is an elaboration—a multi-stable "over center" system used to create irreversible motion.
As this ring rotated with its rotor, a notch machined into it would eventually align itself with the pawl, allowing it to engage with the ratchet, and advance the rotor on its left.
Here, the middle rotor (2) is engaged because the notch in the first rotor is aligned with the pawl; it will step (turn over) with the first rotor.
Later, these click/pawl mechanisms were modified to provide a limited adjustable drag of sorts.
There are four main drag systems that are used with the fly reel and these are the ratchet-and-pawl, caliper drags, disc drags, and center-line drags.
The right-hand pawl, having no rotor and ring to its right, stepped its rotor with every key depression.
The third rotor (3) is not engaged, because the notch in the second rotor is not aligned to the pawl, so it will not engage with the rachet.
This occurred when each pawl aligned with both the ratchet of its rotor and the rotating notched ring of the neighbouring rotor.
When the pendulum swings away from its normal plumb position due to sudden deceleration or rollover, a pawl is engaged, the reel locks and the strap restrains the belted occupant in position.
