Jerseys galore

The chain thingy in the second-to-last photo is a jockey pulley, and it serves the same purpose as the jockey pulleys on modern rear derailers: it takes up the slack in the chain, which varies as you change gears.
If you look, this is a very early derailer-gear system. There's a little lever under the chainstay that changes the gears, and there's only one front ring on this bike.
