Sure, there are many good cheap effective ways to do production brazing, but 
the problem was how to do this without damaging a hollow rubber ball placed 
inside.  ;-)

I was just speculating on how this "damper" might have been useful at one time, 
and a hollow rubber ball would have provided some "give" in the system which 
would let it act like the lake in the earlier example. I have no evidence that 
there ever was such a ball there; that was just pure speculation.
