T is "Timer" That cylinder is a pneumatic release - where in more modern cameras you would use a cable so as to not touch the camera for long exposures, with that camera you would attach a rubber hose to the nipple on the bottom of that cylinder, and at the other end of the hose would be a "bulb". Squeeze the bulb and air pressure will trip the shutter ( hence the term "bulb" ) when "T" (timer or timed), one squeeze of the bulb will open the shutter, a second squeeze will close it. For the missing red film counter window, simply cover it with a red filter gel (dark red film) I'm have a 1904/5 Brownie folding camera that I recently resurrected and took out for a shoot. Depending on what film yours takes, there may be some converted film (127 for instance is available check B&H) or you might be able to convert the camera (add a mask inside the camera) and with adapters for the spool size, use 120 film which is readily available.

Where do you get the film for this? I have the same one and I’ve been unable to find any :(
