That's the same drive design as the modern lay-down cycles, which have a treadle setup. Not unlike the old Cyclops kids cars!

I dare say that the lay-down bicycles have their advantages, but one of them is not visibility in traffic. Guess that's why most have a mast with flag attached.

By "lay-down" cycle I presume you mean "recumbent"...? I love these things! I've ridden many over several decades. But yes, terrible visibility in traffic. But then I would never take one out in traffic. It is too bad that California's Dobbins Bicycle Freeway and New York and Chicago's overhead bicycle expressways never took serious root and lived on.
