JI3 = JS3; JA3 = 0; JE3 = 1;

Section 3.3.1, object reflection. One program, three resolutions: line 8 figure 51, line 9 figure 50, line 10 this plate. RANREC fills the cell with REC (hatch 0.4) when J3 is below ½. JS3 only (p. 122) — the seed matches the printed plate. The first two SERIE calls are counted but not drawn. Sheet 90° like the scan (48 rows upright). Flip turns +X down.
