Westland Whirlwind, Hood operation help needed...

So how would you use it, pull the handle out from stop on the quadrant (Would the handle be spring loaded to automatically locate it the quadrant stops?) and then turn it anti-clockwise to open it to the desired position, although I can only see four locking positions on the quadrant. Also you can open it from the outside by pushing it, so that would mean it would not lock automatically, so not spring loaded then? Would the mechanism be ratchet driven or steel cable, best estimate as to how many turns to open it?
Help please gentlemen… :o
