No Front Brakes

In those days no one ran a front brake, they didn't want to add the extra weight....It made it tough though, some tracks were pretty short back then and them old drum brakes were a problem....I tore the brake lining off many brake shoe back then untill they came out with the bonded ones....then went to the bonded center iron brake shoe and started exploding brake drums....Ah the good old days....

By the way Yags, don't think I ever seen a shop that looked clean enough to eat off the floor, WOW!!

Pup like my racing shoes in the old days

Pup,
Thanks, those were the best Knapp shoes you could buy, wore them every day to work. They had oil resistant soles which were good for around the service department.
