Seth, I do not have that problem with my 1929 633 which has a similar braking system however I have spoken with owners of other similar models with the same problem you describe. I also have a friend with a Lincoln with the same braking setup as our Packards, that car also locks up a front wheel on full steering lock.
Why some cars have the problem and others don't is a mystery , all I can think is that the brake adjustment needs to be backed off a little so that the brakes do not bind on full lock.
However this solution does not work on my mates Lincoln, the brakes need to be backed off so much they do not work at all.
Hopefully others will come in on this problem.
29tons suggestions are all worth checking but the problem can occur on cars with none of those problems.
