The most common configuration was so that you could release the tractor spring brakes while keeping the trailer spring brakes applied even when you had air supplied to the trailer. Which was a bit pointless, seeing as the Johnson bar was always there for the same purpose. But not all of them served that purpose - there were five different uses for that blue knob.
