Default "Buckets" or "Cups" on top of the valve springs

My 1966 092 heads and 19?? 143 heads have cups or buckets on top of the valve springs. I'm getting the stuff together to have the 092's reconditioned and upgraded for a hyd roller, so new springs, retainers and keepers. Those bucket or cup devices are nowhere to be found. When and why did they become unnecessary, and what was their purpose in the first place?
