drum brakes
A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum.
The term drum brake usually means a brake in which shoes press on the inner surface of the drum. When shoes press on the outside of the drum, it is usually called a clasp brake. Where the drum is pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disc brake, it is sometimes called a pinch drum brake, though such brakes are relatively rare. A related type called a band brake uses a flexible belt or "band" wrapping around the outside of a drum. Drum brakes are manufactured in small automobiles or cheap vehicles, as they are less expensive to make than a traditional disc brake.

Brakes FYI for those with 11” drum brakes..
The P.O. had home fabricated some equalizer bars that didn’t work out too well so I went on the hunt for some. It feels like I’ve looked to the ends of the Internet and back for an equalizer bar and spring to make the parking brake to work on my ‘76 CJ5 with no luck. All of the major websites...- PSully76
