Alright, just reviewed the sprag pictures. Is the sprag clutch there as the starter release clutch (overspeed release when the engine starts)?
You got it.
It uses metal roller bearings that will only allow rotation in one direction. When worn the torque from the starter will make the bearings slip instead of cranking the motor over.
