It's not a rectifier, it's an inverting positive peak detector with gain
of 12.1.

Looks like that doesn't it? .. but that's not how it behaves (in
simulation anyway), and not how it functionally has to work.

The waveform at pin 1 is exceedingly ugly. Looks like it's slew rate
limited.

Methinks it's one big typo.

...Jim Thompson

Or deliberate obfuscation, but it seems to work (in simulation)
regardless. I wonder if it's one of those things where someone fiddled
with something on the bench until it seemed to work satisfactorily.

Anyway, I'm going to start from first principles as usual; just want
to make sure I'm not missing anything important.
