Something else must have happened with your brakes Dick. I've had many pre-30's cars and trucks with steel or cast drums, long before bonded, (or molded) linings were even invented. If the brakes were set up right, they never gave me a problem for many thousands of miles other than a tweak on the adjustments. All had woven linings, the only lining available.
