HVAC Pod functionality...

Couldn't find any clear reference to this one... Sort of a beginner question, I know...

W123 '82 300TD is the car in question....

What does the "Main" air flap do exactly? What happens when it's opened? And closed?

Next; the "fresh air/cabin air" flap utilizes cabin air when open right? So what's the advantage to having it closed? The reason I ask is because I'm considering rigging it permanently open (recirc). Is there any reason I shouldn't?

Thus far I've determined that my defrost flap is always open (obvious, judging by the condensation that's always on the windshield). Verified this one with a mityvac. The "foot" flap is a-ok! The center flap was all whacy, so I rigged it permanently open and plugged the vacuum line. I did the work on the center flap through the instrument cluster hole... quite tricky but it's done all the same.
