Sturmey-Archer 3-Speed Hub

How do these things work? I have a couple of exploded drwings that show a planetary gear system, but it has a single gear in the center, three planetary gears, and a "female" gear that presumably drives the hub. Looks to me like that arrangement would only work in single-speed mode, so there must be something I am missing......
