[Fot] The best rear brakes ever.

[Ted Schumacher]

These are segmented brake shoes.  This is done when friction material 
will not bend to conform to shoe diameter.  It was a common practice 
years ago when Velvetouch material was available.  Velvetouch would not 
"bend" so material was cut into smaller segments the could be attached 
to brake shoe. Ted
