My TR6 has the handbrake as you described.  I've never had to use it in an
emergency thank God but it works well as a parking brake when adjusted
correctly.  I do two clicks and tighten the rear druns until they just barely
move by hand.   I have used it to stop the car just to see if it would and it
did but obviously not as fast as all four brakes can.
