[Footnote 7: Signals marked thus are preparatory signals; the
signal of execution in each case is made as prescribed in
par. 990.]
[Footnote 8: In signals marked thus (combination signals) the
preparatory signal consists of more than one element; the
signal of execution follows the last element of the
preparatory signal.]
[Footnote 9: See pars. 239, 333. When a gait signal is added
to the preparatory command the resulting signal is given as a
combination signal.]
