Does the chain tensioner have a purpose? Obviously, to keep the chain in tension, but why would this be needed? So you can run a larger range of cogs in back without exceeding the adjustability limits of the dropouts?

Seventy-Three Years Ago - Paul Egli Wins the World Amateur Road Championship:

Swiss amateur Paul Egli on his way to winning the 1933 World Road Championship for Amateurs. I left this image really large because of the nice details. Note the Vittoria chain tensioner (before the introduction of their shifting mech). From "Match l'Intran" No.362, 16 August 1933.
