Geometry. Once the lever passes vertical it assumes a drop over center position and has no mechanical advantage. In order for the brake rod to do its job, it would need to be repositioned. All adjustments and wear points in the Model A brake system are important. A properly installed and adjusted mechanical brake system on a Model A operates very well.
