I have a guess. I think that one shaft will be used to wind up something that will tension your kicking mechanism and then another shaft (which will spin about 1/5th the other shafts speed) will be used to activate the mechanism that will trigger the kicker. This way you get 5 spins of the tensioning shaft before having to kick. Just 1 guess though.
