    Ah yes, I’ve seen those before.  Commonly used on Clinton engines.  I used to fix them by sharpening the pawls (or whatever they called them) so they kind of dig into the cup for a better grip.  In fact, if memory serves correct, they later put little grooves or teeth in the inside of the cup for the pawls to snatch hold of.

     

    EDIT: Made by Fairbanks Morse, used on various engines.  See video
