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
