As Chris says the brakes need to be in good condition and set up so that the levers are ahead of the vertical and not going behind vertical when the brakes are applied. Soft linings are essential for good braking.
I have long levers on the front brakes (1929, split braking) but have made some modifications to get a bit more travel.
