This Ford-pioneered concept is not complex. Key to it is a simple
mechanism which automatically maintains proper clearance between
brake drum and lining.
Self-adjustment takes place when the brakes are applied while backing
up. Inis adjustment normally occurs but once in several hundred
miles of driving. The brake pedal stays up, providing full pedal
reserve for braking.
