rain head, what does it do? them large boxes on down pipes.

i have seen many times on larger buildings how they have this large box with a downpipe coming off of the bottom of it, it also has an overflow hole in the top.
what is the purpose of these boxes?? is it to ram water down the pipe or something by creating increased head pressure from all the water collecting up the top in that box on a large down pour to help move the water quicker??
