<VV> Shuttle Valve? - Probably not the master cylinder

I just looked at my GM parts catalog. They have very good exploded views 
of each type of master cylinder. Unfortunately, my catalog is a pre-67 
version, so the dual master cylinder is not listed in it. Maybe someone 
with a complete parts catalog could post a picture.
