I agree that the cartoon is trying to sell you non servo brakes as superior and i dont necessarily agree with that. Although they do work better when wet than servo brakes.

but I dont agree that lockheed brakes have any self energizing going on. you need servo action for that to happen. there is no give in the lockheed design for that to happen. you rely solely on the wheel cylinder pressure to apply enough force on the shoes to stop the vehicle. that is why the lockheed brakes tend to wear much more evenly than servo brakes. at least when adjusted corectly.

Servo brakes and self energizing are synonymous terms. they either are servo/self energizing or they are not. PW (Lockheed) brakes are not self energizing/servo brakes.
