Fx176 is a composite conduit, one of the original sixteen Herschel conduits, discovered by Paul Callahan in October 1997. It is made up of three elementary conduits, HF95P, PF35W and WFx46H. After 176 ticks, it produces an inverted Herschel at (45, 0) relative to the input. Its recovery time is 92 ticks.
For the form in infobox, the reaction envelope leaves little space to place an eater for the first natural glider from output, so it needs to be followed by a dependent conduit to protect the uppermost eater 1.
Due to slmake capable of constructing eater bridge eater, it is considered Spartan in 2018.
In the pattern shown in infobox, a ghost Herschel marks the output location.
