Dare I reply?

 

That's an inertia valve. It's the original method used on the Sierra to dynamically adjust the brake bias in relation to the deceleration going on at the time.

 

The term bias valve is usually applied to a valve that limits hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes to a fixed amount. You can get versions that are just a permanently fixed valve or ones that you manually adjust with a knob or lever but even with the adjustable ones the pressure is limited to a fixed amount for a single brake application (unless you feel happy trying to adjust it whilst steering the car and standing on the brake pedal).
