Install the nut with the pin facing outwards first. Tighten it to obtain the proper wheel bearing adjustment. Then install the locking ring with the tab in the keyway, it's nonsymmetrical so flip it over if necessary to get an alignment with the pin. Then tighten the plain nut to lock the assembly. Recheck the wheel bearing adjustment. Install the cotter pin. Install the dust cap.
Carefully check the keyway tab on the locking ring, abusive handling can result in cracks and ultimately in loss of the tab in which case the wheel bearing adjustment will not be maintained. Note in the photo that this one has been damaged and repaired by brazing. To prevent stress on the tab, I prefer to hold the inner nut in position with a pair of channelocks while tightening the outer nut, thus putting no stress on the tab. The set in the picture is from 1934, yours may have slight differences. The hole in the outer nut is just a manufacturing expediency and plays no role in the assembly.
