Default 405 G/box 1st gear freewheel???

Can someone please explain exactly what the 405 gearbox first gear freewheel is/meant to do/reason for Bristol doing it etc. I can't seem to do anything in 1st gear that 'freewheels'!!! Can it be disabled? Can it go wrong and then not function?
So many questions.
An opportunity to educate the ignorant.
