Hello, I have a question about a paragraph what I have read in datasheet of OP400. the complete paragraph has quoted here plus the corresponding figure, but for those who want the complete datasheet here is the link:

OP400 is a package of four OpAmps with just two supply voltage pins(±V) for all four OpAmps. I really don’t understand it, maybe because English is not my native language. How it is possible to have 48V pp voltage at output with just one ±15V supply. I am also don’t understand the circuit completely so I will be grateful if someone explain it to me so I understand how it works. I understand this much that first two amplifiers(u1, u2) just amplify differential signals because their non-invert pins are connected together by RG and for common mode they are just followers. But u1,u2,u3,u4 never cannot accept inputs beyond ±15 nor they can provide outputs beyond that, thank you in advance!Quote OP400 datasheet from Analog devices:
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT INSTRUMENTATION
AMPLIFIER
The output voltage swing of a single-ended instrumentation
amplifier is limited by the supplies, normally at ±15 V, to a
maximum of 24 V p-p. The differential output instrumentation
amplifier of Figure 6 can provide an output voltage swing of
48 V p-p when operated with ±15 V supplies. The extended
output swing is due to the opposite polarity of the outputs. Both
outputs will swing 24 V p-p but with opposite polarity, for a
total output voltage swing of 48 V p-p. The reference input can
be used to set a common-mode output voltage over the range
±10 V. PSRR of the amplifier is less than 1 uV/V with CMRR
(G = 1000) better than 115 dB. Offset voltage drift is typically
0.4 uV/C over the military temperature range.
