The Bendix brake has a "floating" shoe assembly that pivots on the anchor pin above the wheel cylinder. There is no anchor at the bottom, only a starwheel adjuster. As the cylinder applies hydraulic pressure to the shoes, the rotation of the wheel pushes the long (rear) lining into the drum, assisting the brake action. This process is common to all Bendix-type brakes, regardless of which brand of automobile or truck they're used on.
