Has anyone looked how Rolls Royce solved this balancing problem between left and right rear bakes?
The principle is described below (https://www.rrec20hpregister.com/media/3579/small-hp-brake-systemsv2.pdf):
The function of the brake equalisers is to apply the same tension to the pull ropes on each side of the car, and this is done by a bevel differential, identical in principle to that of a rear axle. Th mechanisms consist of two shafts, one long and one short, each with an output lever at its outer end and a bevel wheel at its inner end. Between these bevels is a planet carrier trunnion to which is bolted the input lever.
