| contd:- -2- foot brake. When shoes are reversed, a slight squeak appears on forward, and an occasional one on reverse. With shoes reversed, brakes bind very badly - Quite O.K. when replaced in original position. On both brakes the action of the drum being to hold the bottom shoe, and to throw off the top shoe, and so causing top shoe to vibrate also tending to distort top shoe due to greatest pressure being at X and action of drum to throw off shoe at Y.
