Abstract
A drum brake assembly wherein the hydraulic service brake acts as a leading/trailing brake and the parking or emergency brake acts as a duo-servo brake. A lever member is pivotally mounted on one of a pair of brake shoes and operated by a brake actuating lever pivotally mounted on a composite link disposed adjacent a rotation-preventing stop and operatively connected to the other of the brake shoes. The lever member acts on another composite link disposed adjacent a hydraulic actuator of the service brake and operatively connected to the other of the brake shoes.
