Thank you Craig, my question is are there cable or rods going from the equalizer to the brake assembly? I plan on using them on my 1914 Touring. do you have any paperwork on them or will current AC paperwork work. Thanks Jim

Stronghold brakes were made by A-C for Montgomery Wards. They were cable operated as shown in the Wards catalog.

Here are a couple of pics of similar cable and pulley set ups. The pulley equalizes the cable.
