Split-Flap Departure Board
Mechanical split-flap modules clatter through the alphabet and settle one by one on the word, above rows of fictional departures that scramble and update. The station and airport board look, great for travel, events, launches and countdowns.

Tool-agnosticRecreate a mechanical split-flap departure board spelling [TEXT]. A dark board housing with a "DEPARTURES" header and a row of large charcoal flap modules, each with a thin black split line across the middle and tiny hinge pins. Every module flips rapidly through the alphabet in order, about fifteen flips per second: the upper half folds down over the lower half, darkening as it turns, and each module stops on its letter of [TEXT] at a different moment, giving a clattering, staggered rhythm. Letters are off-white condensed bold capitals. Below, smaller rows of fictional times, destinations, platforms and remarks in amber monospace scramble and settle. Hold, flip everything back to blank and loop.
