Does anyone know the function of these accessories? I found it on a newly bought 1926 Ford Model-T. It was mounted between the carburetor and the intake manifold. There is a metal ball in each of the two small chambers. In the large chamber is a nozzle that comes from the wire jacket.

I understand it's purpose was to inject "moisture" into the cylinders to make carbon disappear - like magic !!!

Was the goal maybe a finer atomization?

Seems to be similar to this one, to provide finer atomization to the fuel. Some other types have a twisted wire and contacts for + _ to add battery wire to pre-heat the fuel for better starting. Think yours is this type:
