I did a brake job on a 70's Duster some 45 years ago and the customer asked me to not reinstall these large weights that attached to to each brake shoe I still have them & am trying to find more information on them. what was the theory here? Heat Sink? Harmonics? Vibration? I'm sure I'm not the Only one that has seen this

I used to work in brake engineering until a couple years ago and adding masses on calipers and pads are certainly a thing for damping out certain frequencies when tackling brake squeal.
I can't say for sure whether they were doing that on brakes in the 70s though!
