From memory it was basically a rebound-on-braking gizmo that they had a bash at using in the 80's, i think 1 was the firmest setting. I just kept mine on #2 and it seemled alright (even though i could barely tell a difference between the 3 settings anyway, so mine may not have worked that wll, or there was marginal difference anyway). I do know that some people just blank them off with a plate and disconnect them entirely and put gold valves in the forks and get it working correctly.
