Howard, I would comply with almost every of your wishes but dense? Nothing could be further from the truth.
Today I don't have time for a deep research but here comes, what looks like a first track. Wikipedia says,
"...The mechanism was available in American car parts stores so that car owners could add to their vehicle to improve it from the late 1930s through the 1950s. But it required that the car have hydraulic brakes, so it could not be added to Ford Motor Company products before 1939. In 1949 it became available on factory-built Fords...."
The same source knows
"... It was first introduced in 1936 as an option for the Studebaker President. By 1937 the device, called "NoRoL" by Bendix, was available on Hudson, Nash and many other cars..."
Below it looks as if the pressed clutch pedal holds the pressed brake to release one foot for stepping on the gas. I would call it check valve with foot-operated shut-off feature.
