You know,

the thing that surprised me was, how well those Manual lap brakes worked, we
went to self lapping brakes in the 30's as they are very effective in heavy
traffic but, I had no problems with 1692 and would stack those brakes
against self lappers any day BUT, you do have to know how to operate them
properly as I'm sure the Muni guys do. When I had the opportunity to really
wind her up today, she really performed.
