Default 1900's Standard Rotary sewing machine

Hi I found one !
just like yours except mine needs to be repainted.
Can you tell me what the knob on the base does beside space the stitching?
Does it reverse? if so I cant get it to slide over, this machine sews leather !
If you find a manual please get a copy on this site (:
also if you do find a site for the Standard on the same knob I mentioned is a serial number that should tell you by cross referencing with the dates made , like Singer has.

When treadling a Standard, one must turn the hand wheel away from you to be able to pick up the bobbin thread. The Standard Rotary works like the White Rotary treadle.
