The only trouble with Philco's logic is how is the new owner supposed to remember that the chassis is not secured to anything, assuming that he was informed of this when the set was delivered? What was the logic behind having a big and heavy chassis just sort of sitting there? The 1936 Philco 116 had similar peg that fitted into rubber mounts at the front of the cabinet, the rear end was bolted down with shock mounts inbetween. I wonder why they didn't use the steel pegs as a shock mount rather then as a temporary anchor? With the Canadian Westinghouse and Rogers built chassis, which were also quite large and heavy, they used four bolts to hold the chassis down, as a matter of fact I don't think I have seen a set where they totally relied on gravity to keep things in place.
