In response to Bob C's idea of using much thinner trailing shoes to aid braking, Bedford petrol powered trucks and buses used this system from at least the 1930's up to the 1960's. Like Sevens once retardation efficiency had been reached no amount of extra pushing of the brake pedal made any difference.
Still as exciting today, giant Austin Sevens.
Peter.
