L156 as an injector

The BFx59H in the second variant of the L156 can act as an injector.

Warning: The following viewer will pause 10 times.

The viewer below shows the injection of a Herschel into an existing track using a L156. Ghost Herschels mark the output locations, and a duoplet marks the block produced in the period-doubling L156 in the northeast.

• Pause 1: the Herschel reached generation 4 of the R-pentomino.
• Pause 2: the Herschel reached the BFx59H, the exact conduit that the gliders will be injecting into.
• Pause 3: the original Herschel reached the R64 conduit. The gliders are in the position to be injected.
• Pause 4: the original Herschel passes the R64. The new Herschel is in the process of injecting.
• Pause 5: the new Herschel is successfully injected.

Pauses 6-10 show the procedure of removing the new Herschel that is up to 495 ticks separated. This does not work if the one Herschel is 503 or more ticks separated, and the conduit will break if the Herschels are separated by 496-502 generations.

• Pause 6: the original Herschel reached generation 4 of the R-pentomino.
• Pause 7: the new Herschel passes the R64. By using an RNE-19T84 instead of the standard L156 catalyst, the new Herschel can be blocked.
• Pause 8: the original Herschel reached the BFx59H. It is in the position to block the new Herschel.
• Pause 9: the original Herschel (which is currently in a temporary R-pentomino phase in the BFx59H) leaves a block (in where the duoplet originally was), which will remove the new Herschel.
• Pause 10: the new Herschel was destroyed by the block. The original Herschel evolves normally, continuing along the Herschel track.

Note that you can instead remove the original Herschel by putting a block in the position of the duoplet. The 2 conduits above (R64 and F117) and the welded eater 5 makes sure that the block is always absent when a new Herschel 503+ generations later comes. This conduit does not work for Herschel spaced 496-502 generations apart.
