In the case of the ModelA,the revised rear brakes came with a stepped drum to accomodate the emergency brake band. The early models simply picked up the service brake with the hand brake lever. As for the 32 maybe some one left them off.

The '32 used the service brakes for the emergency brakes. The interesting thing is that they used the the brakes on all 4 wheels for the emergency brake.

This also occurred for the 1932 B/V8 where most of the cars exported from Nth America had double brake rods & double cross shafts. Cheers Tom in NZ |
