I have a Century that is similar with no back. I will be mounting a modern 8x10 slider to it. I bought the camera here last year. I cannot make the focus knob work as I think it should. It is exactly as the this post.

I believe you loosen that central large knob and slide the back to close focus, then tighten it down, then the gears under the knob allow a back and forth movement to fine focus.
Mine won't fine focus, it's either too tight or too loose. It may be missing a part, as the seller had worked on the camera. I have tried a few things and was about to post about it.
