I had one dated about 1961, single cylinder on the front drums 'single
leading shoe' Stopped ok, but, even when it was in perfect condition,
you were always wary.

When upgraded to twin cylinders and twin leading shoes which iirc were
a bit wider, then it stopped better still. (this was standard spec
from 64 or 67, can't recall which)

The twin leading shoe brakes reduced pedal effort but made fade even more
prone in heavy use.
