Why is it that on my 20's black rad. 1" uncoupled braked Seven the rear grey compressed linings try their hardest to lock up the wheels, but the gold woven front linings allow the car to happily stroll down slopes when parked with the brake lever on as hard as possible (pull wise but spare teeth to click if I could pull harder).
Not logical captain, duff soft linings or not set up correctly somewhere?. Front linings have been subjected to the old drum and sandpaper tweak to get the linings level.
Replies more than welcome.

All brakes carefully assembled, the fronts having been given the old drum and sand paper treatment to get all the linings as level as possible
Peter,
I think that is down to the design of the front brakes more than the choice of linings. The combination of twisting front axle and flex in the radius arms and cross member tends to counteract the force applied to the brake levers.
