There are no calipers used with brake drums.
Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move.
Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.
