Light: the upper board draws back a little, then thrusts out along its arrow to the right with a hit and springs back with a small rebound; the lower board does the same to the left 80 ms later. Strong: both boards pull back toward the post together, then thrust out harder, upper first, and each settles in two decaying beats. The post and foot never move; the boards slide along their own arrows and stay on the post."

# Signpost animated icon

The signpost points the ways. Light: the upper board draws back a little, then thrusts out along its arrow to the right with a hit and springs back with a small rebound; the lower board does the same to the left 80 ms later. Strong: both boards pull back toward the post together, then thrust out harder, upper first, and each settles in two decaying beats. The post and foot never move; the boards slide along their own arrows and stay on the post.
