1936 starting key

Yes it also locks the steering. Calling it a starting key is wrong. The 1936 starter is turned on by a foot activated heavy duty switch located on the floor by the pedals.
 
Wait a minute… The question, and also the previous answer are both a bit confusing. The key lock has nothing to do with the starter motor or the srarter’s electrical circuit. The key does have two functions, however, one function is to lock the steering shaft, and simultaneously to lock the ignition switch.
 
1932 to 1936 use the same procedure. Key unlocks the steering column, period. You then move the ignition lever to on, then with your foot you press the starter switch located between the clutch and brake pedal. 1937 on is the same except the starter button is on the left side of the dash and activates the starter solinoide.

Thanks all to the response!
