The brake shoe is preferably a metal strap 40, while the brake lining is preferably a rubber band having grooves on the inner surface which engage teeth which may be provided on the outer periphery of the drum. A cable 52 may have one end connected to an end of the metal band 40, with the other end of the cable preferably being connected to a hand brake actuator(not shown). A spring 56 may bias the band to the released position.
