I also found those and preserved them. Good high resistance wire (maybe Constantan?)
Reason? Convenience maybe. After all all those Philco parts were only manufactured for own production and there was a multitude of backelite block cap assemblies; nothing wrong with putting a resistor in really. Less soldering. Probably the same reason as with cap assemblies.
Plus I think the backelite block idea itself was: you get free soldering posts to hold wires.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
