<div>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.

The best rear brake shoes I have ever used are shown below.<br>
These are currently being used by me and have been working
