An update. I have now stripped down the front near side hub and brake and found the following :-
1. The brake shoes have plenty of meat still left on them although signs of not all brake serfaces making contact with the drum. They are also glazed in places.
2. The brake cam although a nice fit in the bush and turns freely has end float allowing the brake shoes to move laterally making the distance between brake shoe and back plate vary up to about 3/16ths. Is this normal and if not can it be shimmed with a suitable washer.
Any advice regarding this will be most appreciated.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
