I did some more digging - this is the explanation I was hunting for I guess. It's a very detailed one and to sum it up, the lining is narrower by a half an inch because the trunnion block allows for some rearward movement of that left front wheel. This in turn would make the car pull to the left therefore an equally wide lining (as on the right side) would just add to that pull. Since the lining is narrower that compensates for the rearward movement of the wheel while braking and prevents the pull.

That's probably the most counterintuitive answer I ever heard

Hi
Can anyone tell me why the left front wheel on a '36 senior car had a brake shoe lining narrower than the other three wheels? Thanks

Sorry about that - my bad. I misread some of the info that Bob and I talked about.
I'll update the order link to reflect that it's only a 1937 year part. Thanks, Crin

Hi all,
At the recommendation of a fellow member, I wanted to see if there's any interest in this item. This is a light switch knob for 1937 cars. For 1937 cars, item number 315580. According to a Max Merritt data sheet, this fits 120C, 120CA, 120CD, 138CD and 115C vehicles. Here are a few pictures and the link where you can order one. https://whiteglovecollection.com/shop/1935-1941-packard-light-switch-knob-pre-order/ As with the ignition switch bezel I need a minimum order of 10 pieces before it can go to production. The knob and escutcheon are machined brass and triple chrome plated. The rod is steel. Thank you, Crin

Absolutely. I mentioned in a previous post that I am proficient in 3d cad (I design rockets for Blue Origin during the day...) and if you can send me a napkin sketch I can turn it into a cad model and get some manufacturing prices. Feel free to email me at sales@whiteglovecollection.com Happy to help. That's why we're all here.

I guess Mike's not man enough to apologize... I did receive a wonderful email from another gent on here and it's very much appreciated.
Stay tuned for more goodies I have in work. One of the big ones is a complete running board light that was made by Don Sommer. That's the next thing on my list.
