Hello,
>From looking at pictures of these and other similar Universal brakes I can't figure out how they work. A normal sidepull pulls the 2 arms closer together, but this doesn't seem possible with the bridge between the two arms rather than a cable.

Is there some kind of linkage here, similar to the (I believe) Beborex brakes that someone has posted about recently.
