Which end is the big end of brake cylinders?

I'm going through the 36 Desoto Airflow I just bought. Brakes and steering right now.

I thought the bigger diameter end of the stepped wheel cylinder went to the back since the front sort of helps itself. Mine are installed with the big end towards the front if the car. Is it correct, or were they put on the wrong sides?

Here are the specs for Plymouth, but it seems like the concepts should be the same.

 

By the way, when I was redoing my brakes, Hagen's charged the same price for a stepped bore rebuild as for the typical wheel cylinder.  Some of the other shops were going to charge twice the regular price.
