Organic brakes (Heat packs) in the days prior to carbon heat packs and temp sensors, were certainly prone to seizing if the brakes were left applied. This usually occurred after hard use or after numerous short hops. Changed a few for that very reason.
There used to be a great training video called 'Time to stop again' about a 737 (If I recall correctly), doing 20-30 min multi-sectors, showing the cumulative temp rise at each point. I remember showing it to some drivers who had absolutely no idea and were quite shocked!
