Everard knows of the Time Traveler as a fictional character. (This is not explicitly stated. However, the Time Traveler is universally known.)
We know of both as fictional characters (although, unfortunately, Everard is not universally known).
The Time Traveler was the first character to sit on a temporal vehicle.
Timecycles are an improvement on the Time Machine because:
they are mass-produced;
they are space-time vehicles;
their transit is instantaneous for the traveler;
they have one other direction of movement, into divergent timelines.
The Time Machine refers to curious possibilities of anachronism and of utter confusion but does not pursue this idea which Time Patrol elaborates.
Read both.

Wells was a pioneer, a trail blazer, which is why people still remember his THE TIME MACHINE, even tho Anderson's stories about time traveling were much better.
