A club member who was a brake man at GMH during his career ventured the opinion that the original light drums were better able to conform to the shoes as they pivot, giving full lining contact.
Any new linings should be ground to the radius of the drum inside diameter when applied and not rounded at rest.

Tony did you mean a "brave" man at GMH, I can't get the image of the drum performing a Mexican Wave out of my head.
Is he saying the shoes should be ground to the shorter radius of the stretched drum's elipse? cheers Russell
