If I am not mistaken that is a kind of parking brake. Step on the brakes and
then pull the knob which keeps the brake fluid from returning. Locks the
brakes on. I have found them on a couple of old race cars that have passed

Jerry, you are thinking of 'line lock', more common in drag cars on the
front brakes to let them do nice burnouts, but also used in road racers to
replace regular hand brakes, removed to get weight out of the cars.
