I recently acquired these accessory brakes for a small drum T. They look home fabricated, as they have no stamps or logos on them. Can anyone offer insight on them or the linkage?
Thanks!

Re: AC Brakes?
They appear to be a form of homemade Rocky Mountain brakes. The two small pieces of metal are brackets to hold the equalizer to the frame. The rod in the middle is attached to your brake pedal and the other end to the middle of the equalizer. The matching rods attach to the equalizer and the brake actuator. Lay them out that way and I think you will be able to understand the set up. I do not know if you have to drill holes in your frame to attach the equalizer.
These might help. They are from Mark Strange.

The late Jess Bonar produced & sold a set of brake very similar back in the 60's - 70's - I believe he was in Florida.
