Technically speaking, it doesn't proportion anything. It's a limit valve. It keeps the pressure that's going to the rear brakes from rising above a certain level, whereas the fronts are free to keep rising. At low brake pressures you have the same pressure at the front as you do at the rear. A true proportioning valve would mean less pressure to the rears even as low levels.
