Upon false-true-rung transition, input bit A from a particular input word
shifts into the first bit of the bit shift register. Bit 1 moves to the left and
displaces bit 2; bit 2 displaces bit 3; and so on. Each bit displaces the one
to its left until the last bit in the word (bit 16) is reached. Bit 16 displaces
bit 17, which is really bit 1 of the next word (in this example, bit 401/00).
Bumping continues throughout the file until last bit is ejected from the
queue into output bit B.
