1946 Hudson 10" Brake Drum Specs

I have spent several hours looking and can't seem to come up with any brake drum diameter specs for turning the drums. Mine need to be turned and have some fairly deep grooving. Are specs available for maximum inside diameter or minimum drum thickness?

A good small independent brake shop will assess whether your drums can be safely turned, avoid the chain brake shops.

There may well have been no specs issued by Hudson or the drum manufacturer back in the day, at least not in the manner that we see for for brakes on modern cars.
