142 flaps per drum
Each drum carries the full numeral set twice, so a rollover never travels more than seventy‑one cards. The click you hear is felt, not amplified.

Brass hinges, graphite pins. A dry board reads a half‑second late, which on the Northlight is the difference between a berth and a bench.
The board finishes its turn, the seam settles, and the platform empties. That silence is the whole reason people come early.
One message per departure, never more
