squealing brakes on '57

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today  i drove my car in a lot of "stop and go" (2 miles driving with 
several braking  then stopping, then go back 2 miles, then stopping 
etc.. ) and i notice after 2 or three travels that front (drum) brakes 
make some squealing noise when i brake a little hard, especially when 
the car stopped. After another 2 or three travels, the noise increased 
and came sooner and also every time i brake the car . This noise is like 
the one you've sometimes on disc brakes  or the same than when a train 
stopped at a station !!!  
Then i stopped the car for 1 hour or two. When i took again the car, no 
noise when braking... But it came again after 20 or 30 braking ..
The noise came from front (left i'm sure but it seems also that right 
drum makes noise) not from rear... The braking (except the noise) is 
correct.
