Chrysler Hydraulic Four-Wheel Brakes

From the 1928 Chrysler Imperial 80 Instruction Book

How the Lockheed hydraulic brakes work and how to service them: the master cylinder and supply tank on the transmission case, compensating valves, the castor oil and alcohol brake liquid, wheel cylinders, bleeding the lines one cylinder at a time, adjusting the shoe cams, relining and centering the shoes through the drum, leaks and liquid expansion. The external-contracting emergency brake on the transmission drum closes the section.
