Compare these palm keys to those on the picture set of the 1925 True-Tone tenor. Ten years makes a lot of difference. These are far superior in placement, position, key touch size, and support.
The octave mechanism is pretty much the same as those on the late True-Tone and New Aristocrat horns.

A clone of the old Univox Super-Fuzz octave fuzz pedal.
There's a video or two I posted on my Fool Audio Research feed on Facebook of setting up the first one I built. I was all, "OK, this is beyond my ability to control." Same thing here.
I spent about 20 minutes dialing this in just now and finally got it to behave, but you can tell that what it really wants to do is summon Cthulhu and the Old Ones from the depths of space.

Note the keywork over the body octave pip and key, and the small arm wrapped in dark material that extends up towards the top of the horn. Note that the arm extending over it at a right angle from the octave mechanism keywork is forked and fits around the small arm.
The dark material covers a thin metal rod that originally supported a small metal block with corked slots on two sides. There was a hole in the center of the block that fit over the thin metal rod. The forks in the octave key's arm were supposed to fit on either side of the block, making contact with its corked slots. The block is not anchored but pivots on the metal rod.
When the player activates the octave key, the forked lever moves up and away from the horn's body and pivots slightly on it's axis perpendicular to the length of the horn's body. The block was meant to pivot with the forked lever while maintaining contact with the lever's forked arms.
It's a neat idea, and probably something Buescher could cite as a keywork feature that improved the action, but it relies on very close contact by the forked arms on very thin strips of cork in the slots on the metal block. Cork compresses, so the contact between the block and forked arm will gradually wear the cork down making the fit looser and the mechanism less precise. So the fork / block / pivot linkage mechanism is clever but not very secure over time.
Often you'll see Buescher horns set up like this one, where the block has been removed and the thin pivot arm covered with a modern, low friction material that resists compression better than cork.
Modern materials have also been substituted for the cork on the octave key arm at the top of the horn. Here you can see that it's covered with a white plastic tube. The bottom portion of the tube covers a brass arm. There is a screw rising straight up out of that. The screw was meant to secure a small cylindrical length of thick cork with a hole drilled through it. This works just as well when a modern material is substituted for the cork.
At left is a one octave instrument in G major with Sapele wood - African Mahogany with rough full 1x doug fir resonators calculated for the fifth 2 octaves lower. Result of a mix-up but works well.
To the right a one octave instrument from A to A with all the sharps staggered in. The keys are made with East Indian Rosewood - Dalbergia latifolia we bought as 3/4"x3/4"x6' rot resistant plant stakes. This one is every bit as good as the larger one using much smaller keys and resonators due to the wood's beautiful tonality.
In back is a one octave set of Sapele keys originally designed for the one at right but much quiteter so I tossed them on a test resonator.
