In the same issue of the "Motor" a description of the Girling Braking system is described. I have not tried this but I believe it is very good, practically everything is in tension&owing to the regidity of the system very high leverages can be used. Bentleys were working on a rather similar plan two years ago in order to cut our sponginess.
