Look at 10: the top of 1 is to the left! Look at "SCALE OF": S is at the bottom, OF is above it. The tops of S, C, A, L, E face to the LEFT edge! YES! Everything is oriented with its TOP facing the LEFT edge! Wait, what about "SHEET NO XC"? Look at "SHEET NO XC": Ah, S is at the bottom, H is above it, E, E, T, N, O, X, C! Wait, in the current image, "SHEET NO XC" is at the top left! Wait, it is vertically written? No, it's in the corner: "SHEET NO XC" S is towards the left-ish, XC towards the right? Wait, look at the letters "S H E E T": If tops face the left edge, then S is at the bottom (towards the bottom of the current image, which is the left when rotated), and XC is towards the top! Let's rotate 90 degrees CLOCKWISE in our mind: - Left edge becomes TOP edge. - Right edge becomes BOTTOM edge. - Top edge becomes RIGHT edge. - Bottom edge becomes LEFT edge.
