I see it in the '55 & '56 Accessories section of the parts book. From the photo it's not clear to me if there is a siphon, and if so how it is started. If the tube was mounted at the bottom of the auxiliary reservoir in a short amount of time the fluid and air would 'change places'. Most modern cars have adopted a scheme quite similar to this accessory, namely; a visual inspection without removing a cap is the means to check the brake fluid level. Once you know the level is low then the wrenches come-out. Seems to me the same is true for the coolant level.
