Lx65 is a periodic elementary Herschel conduit. After 65 ticks, it produces an inverted Herschel turned 90 degrees counterclockwise at (12, -16) relative to the input. A ghost Herschel marks the output location.

It relies on a sparker to provide a spark at generation 42. Caterer or jam, T-nosed p4, octagon II and T-nosed p6 work for periods of 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively, as shown in the infobox. Its repeat time is 57, which can be reduced to 56 by replacing the welded 7×9 eater with a blocker.

A p6 variant that relies on the output's first natural glider to remove blocks was used by David Buckingham to build a p366 gun in 1994, and the p3 variant was later used in Dietrich Leithner's 1997 p57 Herschel loop.
