I don't have any of mine around but I took this picture off the Internet.
When I used to work maintenance in an oil refinery most of my wrenches were these older style Williams Superrenches (Because they are hands-down the best wrenches you can possibly get for use in an industrial setting). When I needed more leverage I would do the classic "double wrench" trick and the thing I noticed about when you did it with a Williams double box , the jaw from the open end of the other wrench would fit nicely inside that V-shape.
Do you think that is why Williams put that there? I mean typically a tool company wouldn't condone the use of a tool that way, but this design was out during an era where a shortcut like "double wrenching" would maybe be considered more of a standard procedure and let's face it: you're not breaking a Superrench.
