It appears no clutch.  You have a neutral half way down on the left pedal.

Actually,

He drove it over to our place a little while back for a dinner party. He'd 
actually made some modifications to it to make it more driveable (a "kit" I'm 
guessing, but he's also pretty handy, so he might have made it all himself). 
He'd done some mods to the engine to go from 23 HP to more like 28 HP (I'm 
guessing a little bit on the actual numbers). He also put in "real brakes" 
because the originals were pretty pathetic, and he messed around with the crazy 
pedal thing to make it more like a what we would think of as a manual 
transmission with a clutch, brake and gas pedal. At this point, I think anyone 
who knows how to drive a manual transmission could actually drive it, although 
he tells me the power and brakes still leave a bit to be desired.

    Yeah, I have watched some youtube videos about it.  Like the brake is 
combined with a gear change pedal or something.

    We have a neighbor with an original Model T. The pedal arrangement on it is 
like a Rubic's Cube to decipher.

      Similar kind of fun we had when we dropped off our 5-speed manual 
transmission truck (which has unfortunately been replaced with an automagic 
transmission truck).

        That is so uncool that it's cool.

          Probably would not use as the daily device but would sure love to 
have it.
