Sorry if anyone objects to my saying a dual master cylinder is a backup brake system. All I know is that is with a dual master cylinder it is possible that the rear brakes may stop you even if the front brakes do not, or vice versa. In addition to BTV and the emergency brake my Packard has a special emergency braking device. It is called shoe leather. You stick your feet through the rusted out floorboard and press your feet down very hard on the road. It is very inefficient but it is better than nothing!
