I didn't think Ford [ or maybe others] used woven after the Model A but I doubt I've ever worked on any with original brake linings. I didn't start working on this stuff until the late '50s.
Friction materials have changed over the years, especially since they got rid of the asbestos.
I still think and agree that it isn't going to make noticeable difference which shoes are used. I agree that the difference is how the parts are put together. There is a lot more to the proper working of these brakes than the lining material.
