Section 3 says:
We now present explicit examples of calculating a simple 1's complement sum on a 2's complement machine. The examples show the same sum calculated byte by bye, by 16-bits words in normal and swapped order, and 32 bits at a time in 3 different orders. All numbers are in hex.
It should say:

Notes:
A small typo in line 3 in the second occurrence of the word 'byte'
