Gemini "C" front axle

Possibly a stupid question, on Gemini type "C" front axle, do
the grease nipples face towards the rear or the front?

Can’t answer directly, but if you look along the axle from one
end, the kingpin tube will be set at an angle to the plane of
the axle. The bottom of the kingpin tube will be to one side of
the main axle and that’s the side that needs to face forwards.
It makes the line through the axis of the steering hit the
ground ahead of where the wheel contacts the ground. This is
called caster.

I've since found out, the grease nipples should face foward.
