Steve, in my little mind, which ever way you would install this device 
it could be wrong for a line shaft..  Yes I agree that it is a brake but 
to slow down the machine is not good and to place it on the engin side 
would tear up the wood clutches as you described them. It does, did, 
have a purpose but I am not convinced it is in a line shaft operation.
ps Nice toy....
