FWIW, my 1949 CA bungalow had these "T"'s in several places. It took an old plumber to explain their function.
The bulbs are coming on now. When I re-did the shower, I noticed the old fixture had an extra 1' or so of pipe on each side pointing straight up on both the hot and cold side. Now, when we turn off the hot water in the other bathroom (downstream from this one) we get a small 'knock' from the pipes.
