For the 1924 Superiors the drums were increased to 11 inch with part #341579. So down in SYDNEY the last of the Oshawa sourced 1923 Superiors chassis were 10 inchers drums while the 1924 Chassis sourced from Tarrytown switch to the 11 inch drums and at the same time switched from cable control to rods and levers brake controls.
