Hmm, if I read this right I think you're referring to a system that Gabe Konrad pointed out in OTW and BikeLore. Seems to me Velocio was associated with it (don't have the OTW or BikeLore handy to verify).

I've been searching the archives in vain for my favorite weirdness in which
the chain goes through a convoluted wrap that engages both sprockets of a
two
speed freewheel enabling a forward pedal action for one speed , and a
backward pedaling for the other, , both freewheels are always moving, one to
drive and the other in freewheel , I think it is a very old idea, and some list member has built one with great web pics , , I think this definitely needs to be on the list, someone help out, , , , , , regards, ,Tom Roberson
