Steve et al.,
There is a drawing in the Data Book, page 140, that shows the dropout and hub from the back side. The chain is on the chain rest and the drive-side wing bolt is removed, allowing the hub to drop out of the frame.
Note: The derailleur hanger shown in the drawing is not for a Cyclo or Simplex as on the photo. It appears to be a Nivex.

Steve, The "option" on the Herse allows you to "overshift" the chain onto that thin
metal circular strip and remove the wheel, witout ever touching the chain. Campagnolo's porta canteena (I probably spelled it wrong) was a similar mechanism. The shift levers that were used with these systems had an extra position that would shift past the freewheel. The levers usually had a lockout feature so you wouldn't do this inadvertently.

Interesting frame, can anyone explain the right rear dropout? It looks like
it's got
a fairly heavy washer brazed around the axle slot, as well as a thin strip
of metal surrounding the
slot and back of the dropout http://www.reneherse.com/
