Top edge (originally right edge): Top left corner: Nothing, wait: In the original scan: "SHEET NO XC" is at the top right of the rotated view (near the corner). When rotated 90° CCW: Original top edge becomes left edge. Original right edge becomes top edge. So: "S. C. MUKHERJI." at the bottom-right of the original right edge? Wait, let's look at "SHEET NO XC": Letters: S H E E T N O X C The tops of the letters in "SHEET NO XC" face right! Wait, look at "SHEET NO XC": S is on the left, XC on the right. Tops of letters face UP relative to the current view? Wait! Look closely at "SHEET NO XC": S H E E T N O X C Tops of letters face toward the top of the current image! Wait, look at: "THE TEN-STOREYED BUILDINGS — CHAPTER XXVIII" "SUGGESTIONS FOR PLANS IN GENERAL" Tops of these letters face LEFT! Wait, look at "THE": T is at the left, H is to the right of T? No!

That means the text reads from left to right along the vertical axis? Let's check: If the spine of E is to the left/bottom: Ah!
