On the wire wheel models the rear brake drum is solely held in place with four ½" UNF setscrews. In the case of cast wheels their secure fixing abuts the brake drum I believe, so an extra level of security.

Surprised in either case that the brake drum would come loose. I guess this could happen with wires though and setscrews only finger tight. What did you find in this regard when wheels removed?
