[Fot] Help Identifying this

It is a simple but ingenious device : when a rotor of one rear wheel is out of round, that wheel will lock up sooner than the other wheel. Preventing this improves the braking and the stability.

That is an inline brake dampener. It is 1960's anti-lock. It absorbs the pulsing in the brake line and peddle due to things like a warped rotor or out of round drum. I used to use them back when I didn't have any money and raced with whatever junkyard parts I could cobble together. 
They do in fact work. 

Cheers,

Attached is a picture of something I used on my race car a long time ago, but now I can't remember what it was for. Any ideas? As you can see by the fittings on the sides, it was plumbed into the brake line. That looks like a bleeder nipple on the bottom. 

If anyone knows what this is, and would like to have it, send me your address and I will mail it to you. 

Thanks.
