WHO'S GOT THE SCOOP ON RESIDUAL VALVES?

The spring in the wheel cylinder between the cups makes the residual valve in the Master cyl, redundant, not nec.
So, if the wheel cyls have a spring, you don't need the residual valve in the m/c.
That makes no sense. They have ALWAYS had springs. I was taught that drums need residual, disk do not. There are sometimes exceptions, I was told depending on master cyl. location, IE older vehicles under the floor boards.
