Let the generators that are shown be called straight(S), and define the flipped generator(F) as the mirror image of the straight generator in the line y=0. Each stage of the construction must use the same generator throughout, either S or F, but different stages may select different generators. These plates, and more which follow, use S throughout, but other infinite sequences of S and F yield immediate variants. 1, record 1, English, - flipped%20generator
