On an Ambo I bought for parts, the brake lever(don't know which way it
was installed, I can look) had a 'cheater bar' for a lack of a better
description, afixed to it.

What it does, is extend the brale lever about 3" so that there is more
'action' in the movement of the arm, thus giving greater braking ability
with less effort, presumably.

I give it a closer inspection tonight.
