Brake shoe lining width difference

Home away from home

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

To compensate for the effect of the movement allowed by the trunnion block on the braking geometry. The narrower lining on the front left is particular to models with the trunnion hlock.

Can you elaborate a bit on what a trunion block is and why it would cause this effect?
