Perry and all--
 
I understand the concept but I can't figure out the practice.  If one  system 
covers the two front brakes will I need TWO helpers--one to step on  the 
brakes and the other to bleed the right brake while I do the left  
simultaneously? 
 And since the front drums have two wheel cylinders  (leading and trailing 
shoes) will the two of us need to be doing both  all at the same time?  
 
I fear I am missing something.

On a dual master cylinder set up one master is for the front brakes and  one 
for the rear.  They are however connected together to a common brake  pedal.  
In order to get a full stroke of the master for bleeding the  second cylinder 
must also go all the way down. Therefore it is required  to bleed one wheel on 
the front and one on the back at the same time.
