The M135/M211 series 2 1/2 ton GMC trucks have two identical brake shoes per
wheel, and two wheel cylinders. Both wheel cylinders act on both shoes.
According to TM 9-8024 "Both shoes are always primary shoes, independently
self-energized in either directon of drum roataion. Shoes anchor either at
toe or at heel, depending upon direction of brake drum rotation when brakes
are applied."
Thought this was interesting in light of all the other cooments on braking
theory.
Just a comment form the peanut gallery,
