It is a thing of beauty, but it seems to be robbed of its brakes. Centrepulls or?

I suspect these. Not sure what they're called:

According to most sources they're called "Jeay" brakes, and their design dates from the 1920's, but I've always thought that was a brand name.
I guess they fall into the centre pull category. I thought it had another name, but I may have been thinking of the roller cam brake.
