Never seen one before, but I’ll believe him🙂.

It is nothing more than a drum brake.

Activation of the brake (coupling) seems to happen by some mevhanism on the axis, probably by some lever that pushes the mechanism to the centre of it.

It is a dim memory, but wasn't one version of the Myford clutch the front brake from a Raleigh moped??

IIRC it was an after-market accessory for the ML7 made that way.

I've got one of these on my ML7 (1962 vintage), does anyone know where to get the shoes or the friction material?

Why did you presume that there would be a question, Robert ?

I replaced the pin with a masonry nail. Works very well.
