I used to own a 1952 Rover 75 which had a similar "Free wheel" device which
worked like a one way clutch. As soon as you lifted off the car would coast
just like it would if you had placed the gear lever in neutral, and the
engine rpm would drop back to idle. When you put your foot back down the
drive would re-engage. There was a knob under the dash which enable the free
wheel to be locked in situations when engine braking was desirable like
going down hill. You could also change gear without using the clutch whilst
the free wheel was in operation.

Madhu,
A few years back "New Scientist" - a popular scientific weekly in the UK -
reprinted an advert for a Mercedes car that had been published in the US.
The car apparently had some sort of free-wheel device which enabled it to
use no fuel at all under some circumstances (down hill presumably). The
original German copy had the slogan "130 kph, 0 l/km". This had been
translated as "80 mph, 0 mpg". As New Sientist put it; "the ultimate gas
guzzler".
