Thanks very much, Ray, but I was merely curious about it, not really interested.
I did own a Worksman tricycle that had a sole front drum brake, much smaller, that worked acceptably if not excellently, and also a Sturmey Archer combined front drum brake and dyno hub that I'll bet weighed more than Brendon's front electric motor (but not as much as the combined 3 speed and dynamo rear hub. Neither were built into wheels.)
