Similar devices on other planes work something like sanders on locomotives or trucks, they release some sort of ballast on the pavement-or runway, and may have serv-controls which make some adjustment on the wheel brakes. in fact the call for setting thesde things up was Anti-Skid--On (or armed) and four releases, the releases would click like a parking brake on a car or (click stops) on some cameras with a sort of auditory feedback. four clicks meant the system was armed- which suggests (Toggling off) Ballast, so to speak. That"s my guess. the devices are only used on slick pavements- marginal weather, not all landings.
