Didn't say it well.  If you pull up on the handbrake, at least one of
your shoes on each side is now actually on the drum, and if you press
the footbrake you'll have a nice high pedal.  If the height of the
depressed pedal with and without the handbrake applied first continue
over time to bear the same relationship or get closer together, then
your adjusters are doing what they're paid for.  If they get farther
apart, then something's not working right.
