as i recall, early ithaca guns (pre 1920 or so), have three position safeties...

all the way back equals fire all the time a trigger is pulled. its non automatic and like having no safety at all...

when the safety button is in the middle position, the triggers are blocked and the gun will not fire...

when the safety button is full forward, the gun will fire when a trigger is pulled. if the gun is opened and recocked, the safety automatically returns to the middle, safe position...
