Through mathematical analysis, author determines effect of self-actuation measured in terms of increase or decrease of cam pressure required to sustain same normal pressure before and after outside torque has been applied to brake drums; defines terms "actuation factor" and "actuation constant", and determines their values under different conditions; concludes that in order that any braking system may operate efficiently, linkage must be rigid and its geometry must be correct.
