I remember helping my younger brother nail cleats on to his real nice Duegis back in the early 80's. IIRC, the ball of the foot is supposed to line up with the pedal axle and the cleat's first and ususally only slot is the one to use,......although maybe some had used the back of the cleat to hook on as it maybe afforded some float?? We were always afraid that our nail job will eventually pull out, but they never did. It's good they didn't as we didn't know that cobblers would have typically bent the nail tips of the nails to a hook using a cobbler's steel "anvil", which would have made them close to impossible to pull out.
