Subject: [CR]Claud Butler Dropout Question

I'm curious to know what kind of dropout is on this frame, a Claud Butler from what I'd guess to be the 40's (SN 841378, with two additional smaller digits 21 below the letter H):

Are the long points just for show, or were they for a particular kind of derailleur or hub?

Thanks for any help!
