That's why I posted on the short shoe vs long shoe, there is a lot of confusion on the subject! On Bendix brakes the short shoe is the leading shoe, on Lockheed brakes the short shoe goes to the rear. All you have to remember is the long shoe matches the larger diameter end of the wheel cylinder.
Mart here on the Barn calls it the Big-Big rule, which helps keep you straight.
