It is not used here and the reason is worth stating: it carries the pane at roughly twice the width, and it is taken from further below and rotated about a quarter turn, so the disc reads as an oval and the letters run sideways. This measurement is about shape, and resolution does not buy back geometry. A square-on photograph of every pane would beat both, and is the standing request.", "The upright copy is a derivation, not a new source: the same pixels turned by the tag the file carries.

The file carries an EXIF orientation tag — value 6, which asks a viewer to turn it — and anything that reads the stored pixels without that tag sees the pane on its side. On its side, BEND appears to read bottom to top. That is what a 2026 research deliverable saw, and it built a claim on it: that the 1916 transom spells the word vertically while every later mark reads across, so orientation is a branch in the emblem's design record. Turn the file the way its own tag asks and the pane reads across, like everything else. The branch is a metadata tag.", "The deliverable also reports “small illegible text” following the bottom inner curve.
