I think these were called maxilocks or something like that. I had to move a
fire engine years ago, and encountered one of these.

Subject: Re: [MV] M35 Parking Brake
These work fine, just be sure to firmly apply brakes FIRMLY is key word,
friend of mine jumped in his truck that had this device but brakes had not
been firmly applied, this let truck move, he was in a hurry and did not
notice truck pulling hard until smoke started coming from wheels, he was
known thereafter as "brake shoe"
I wonder also that if this device was in place and applied; if like my
friend you drove anyhow, would you have brakes or would valve block flow
both ways???
I always pumped bakes couple of times then flipped swith, do not know what
would be the effect of flipping switch and then pumping brake pedal.
