Bx222 is a composite conduit, one of the original sixteen Herschel conduits, discovered by Paul Callahan in October 1998. It is made up of three elementary conduits: HF95P, PB68B and BFx59H. After 222 ticks, it produces a backward-traveling inverted Herschel at (6, -16) relative to the input. Its recovery time is 271 ticks.

The eater 5 at the top can be removed to produce an extra glider, but this eater removal only works if the eater 1 is not present to supress a block. Bx222 can be considered Spartan by the modern slsparse definition, assuming the high-clearance eater 5 is replaced by a standard tub-with-tail eater.

In the pattern shown in the infobox, a ghost Herschel marks the output location.
