In those days, the only way to start the car is to use the "starter lever" which is a long bar with male/female head/socket fitted to it and the car engine. You insert this through a hole in front, and rotate it a few times to start the car. Very similar to kick starting a motor bike.
Self Starter was invented much later. When you had a manual starter car, and if you were to be frail and cannot start the car, then park the car in a slope somewhere near the house, and when the car starts to move, then engage the gear to "start it"

How does the ignition system start up the engine?
There were only a few cars in history the "Ignition System" started the car.
