Vincent,
I could only understand a very small portion of what was in the book. I think I have conveyed it correctly, but it would be nice if someone else understood the subject. It does contain much that is understandable.
The drum brakes analysis starts with what they call the "basic circle", which is used as a standard to do the more specific geometry for shoe factors and lining pressures. The pressure calculations are here and I stop before the next section, which is the shoe factor calculations:
Even without a full understanding of the material, it becomes apparent that the geometry of a brake is not to be taken lightly!
