I'm a sucker for these mental gymnastics eqcradle, but you'll have to provide us with a little sketch or a more fullsome description - I've tried to visualize/sketch from your above but am finding it hard going. Thought the "hiss-drive" was great!

As for your post vindictive666 (that name sounds like some sort of ominous biblical omen brother!) - I can envisage the brake lever creating a one-way azimuth control but not bi-directional: if that was the case (uni-directional) it wouldn't be much cop - a bit like me going to Melbourne via Sth. Africa and Sth. America!
