First off, I had an awesome time at Chickasha. Second, can any of you gents identify these brakes? All of the castings have the circled "U", but that might just be a foundry mark. I didn't see them in Jim Kenealy's Vol I or II, but I don't own Vol III. Any information would be much appreciated.

No idea in the type but I really like the design. Should give you a really good squeeze on the drum and they'll work the same rolling forwards or backwards.

I could not find anything like them in Vol III of Jim's accessory book. Nice find!

I totally agree with Seth. Great find!!

Thanks. Here's a set of APCO brakes I have; they seem to be built a little heavier but would only grip hard going forward. It's the old "great forward, poor reverse vs. good forward, good reverse" dilemma.
