yeah, the brass distribution block was used in drum/drum cars. Factory cars with disc front and rear drums had a slightly larger brass block that was referred to as a proportioning block. From my understanding, the drum/drum block is, essentially, a straight through T fitting for the front circuit and a coupling for the rear circuit. Both the distribution and proportioning block have the same line placement. Front circuit in the top of block with 2 lines going feeding the front brakes. And 1 rear brake circuit feeding the one brake line heading to the rear.
