Known also as echo or come-on, the high-low signal is probably the most important single weapon that the defenders possess in their arsenal or aggressive warfare. In its normal, recurring application, the high-low signal in a suit expressed the desire for a continuation of that suit, or an interest in that suit being played when partner obtains the lead. (The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge, 1971, p. 172). 1, record 2, English, - high%2Dlow%20signal
