Even at their best rod brakes were pretty much ornamental so they were probably working perfectly... the really horrible thought is that there were cars fitted with rod brakes back in the day - I guess it kept the population down but that would be their only advantage.
Having looked at the bike I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be based on one of the Humber bikes but I am not sure
