This may be off topic and if it is, I apologize.

I found a book in my 'library', titled "Plymouth and Chrysler-built cars Complete Owner's Handbook of Repair and Maintenance" published by Floyd Cramer in 1955. In the Brake section, it describes the typical expanding shoe brakes and "The Chrysler Disc brake as used on the Crown Imperial..."

Out of curiosity, does anybody have experience with these? From the description and diagrams in the book, the design is intriguing for the era, but complicated.

Thanks,

Many years ago, whilst awaiting a repair job, I spyed one of those critters up on the lift at the shop I was at. A place that had been doing business a long time in its location. The mechanic working on the Imp. did Not Like the brakes at all. he said they were hard to work on.
