Actually the mechanical brakes on the model A worked pretty good since
it was so light. For a real thrill the Model T was something else. The
brake band worked on the transmission, if the brake got weak you used
the reverse band.

Model T brakes were never designed for stopping Model T's. They were
designed for holding the Model T while you cranked it. Just look how
ineffective they are with that skinny band that operated on the rear wheels
only.
