ABSTRACT

In the first type, shown in Figure 18, the small spot magnet 1 in Figure 19 is attracted to armature 2, which rotates with the drum. Friction between the spot magnet and the armature cause lever arm 3 to rotate and to actuate lever mechanism 4 to bring shoes 5 into contact with the drum. Depending upon the direction of rotation, one of these shoes will be the leading shoe, which by servo action will drive the trailing shoe against the drum.
