Question about picture in current Campy catalog

On the third page, featuring a picture of Tullio Campagnolo standing
behind a bicycle's rear wheel, there are three levers on the seat
stay, two high on the stay and one low down. What did each lever do?

Either this:

or it lights the Christmas tree on the White House lawn

Pbbbbbbbbt, they ain't nuthin compared to the tree lights at Opryland.

However, that shifter doohickey is wild. I'm familiar with early mechs
and crotch grabber fronts with the lever, but never realized that the
old Campy stuff had the wheel move in the drops to change gear. Whoa!
This was changeable on the fly, no?

Pretty much...but you had to backpedal while shifting. A real bummer
when climbing.
