There are 3 things I know of used to ensure the brakes drag.
1 hardware, spring holders, nuts and bolts were added to calipers and pad backing to retract them. But the set up needed to be adjusted constantly.
2 On newer vehicles some engine vacuum is applied to the braking system some how to help remove brake drag from the rotor at highway speeds.
3 put properly functioning drum brakes all around.
