^^^^^ I was thinking the same thing, if the lever is located so far forward at rest it would unlikely run out of travel before moving the shoes very far.

The book I have shows them arranged like Kube's picture; but other pictures show them like yours.

Playing at my desk just now with a set of brake levers and links; it appears to me they would work either way.
