A leading brake shoe is the one facing the direction of travel of the vehicle. The easiest way to describe it is ' the first brake shoe after the wheel cylinder in the direction of the drum rotaion'. This will then be true not matter which direction the vehicle is travelling in.

What are 5 parts of a drum brake system?
Brake drum: A rotating cylindrical component that provides a surface for brake shoe friction material to press against. Brake shoes: Curved metal components lined with friction material that press against the inside of the brake drum to create friction and slow down the vehicle. Wheel cylinder: A hydraulic component that pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum when the brake pedal is pressed. Brake adjuster: Mechanism that adjusts the position of the brake shoes as they wear down to maintain proper braking performance. Return springs: Springs that retract the brake shoes away from the drum when the brakes are not applied, allowing for free rotation of the wheel.
What is self-servo action?
It is the action of the Brake shoe which increases due ti the direction of the rotation It is the action of the Brake shoe which increases due ti the direction of the rotation Self servo action: As the drum rotates the leading shoe wedges against the drum causing the trailing shoe to make contact.

Where are you use double shoe brake?
A double action brake shoe comprising a shoe, a lining and an oscillator material as main components which function respectively as a reinforcing body of the brake shoe, a brake material and as a generator of certain vibration frequency when the shoe is applied to a hub. The lining is attached on the surface of the brake shoe and oscillator material is inserted between the shoe and the lining.

What is a self energising brake?
A self energizing brake is one that uses the actual braking drag force to increase the force with which the brake is applied. Before the advent of power brakes, many cars, particularly heavy ones, were equipped with various forms of self energizing brakes in order to reduce the force required on the brake pedal. A simple type is the leading shoe drum break, in which the brake shoe leads it's pivot point. That is, the pivot point is at the trailing end of the brake shoe, considered from the direction of motion of the brake drum. In this design, applying the brake causes the brake shoe to drag against the brake drum, with more force then works to force the shoe against the drum with more force still, thus getting more breaking from the initial application force, multiply it by some factor.

What is the self-servo action on drum brakes?
When the brake cylinder pushes the two shoes apart, the leading shoe "wraps" with the rotating drum. This wrapping pushes the trailing shoe through the transfer bar into tighter contact with the drum providing the servo action.Notice that your leading shoe nearly always has more brake lining than the trailing shoe and also notice that it requires more pedal effort to stop a car with drum brakes when it is going in reverse than it does when the car is moving the same speed in the forward direction.
What is a brake shoe?
A brake shoe is the part of a braking system which carries the brake lining in the drum brakes. It can be used in automobiles, bicycles, and other things.
