Default Grounding with single tap secondary...

I am a little stumped, not sure of grounding with single tap secondary...

I have no idea how the transformer primary is wound but that side has an earth wire as well as the 2 AC connections...

The secondary for the HV and the one for the heater are not centre tapped... do I just connect the negative side of the bridge rectifiers to ground?
