Master Cylinder

Here is my master cylinder:

My question is this:
What are the three different brake lines for? Is it one for the rear and two for the front or what? And if so which is for which?

As you can tell iam confused

Thanks

The one under the reservoir goes to the rear and is tee'd to feed both rear cylinders. Forward ones feed the front brakes

As above, not the best set up as failure could mean the car is more libel to spin under braking, especially if a font pipe fails, think handbrake turn in the wet at speed, what fun.

Best ones have four outlets, each pair fed to diagonally opposite wheels but that uses more pipe and hence costs more so as usual they build cars more dangerous to save a few quid.
